PRESS OPINIONS. 



Farmer and Stockbreeder says: 

 "'This encylopedia has had a 

 favourable reception from farmers. 

 Every succeeding volume confirms 

 the earlier impressions of the thorough- 

 ness with which the ground is 

 covered." 



The Field says : " The work forms 

 not only the largest and the most 

 comprehensive but the most com- 

 plete Cyclopedia of Agriculture. 

 The writers upon the different 

 subjects are well chosen, and as each 

 contribution bears the initials of 

 the author, the reader is in a position 

 to form his estimate of the value of 

 the article. The book is handsomely 

 brought out and suitably illustrated." 



The re-issue of this well-known Book 



is an event of great importance to the farming world, as the work 

 has become the recognised standard authority for the progressive 

 farmer. It would be quite imprss^ble for us to give an adequate 

 idea of the contents of this work in the space at our disposal for 

 everything connected with Agriculture is dealt with. Not only so, 

 but the articles are written by the most competent and distinguished 

 experts in the United Kingdom, America, the Colonies, and the 

 Continent. There are contributions by more than 



200

 of the West of Scotland Agricultural College, Glasgow.

 give good evidence of their high standing.
