AMERICAN CATTLE. 
Their History, Breeding, and Management. Illustrated. 
By i,<- wis P. Allen. Price $2.50. 
This book will be considered indispensable by every 
breeder of live-stock. The large experience of the author 
in improving the character of American herds adds to the 
weight of his observations, and has enabled him to produce 
a work which will at once make good its claimB as a stand- 
ard authority on the subject. An excellent feature of the 
volume is its orderly, methodical arrangement, condensing 1 
a great variety of information into a comparatively small 
compass, and enabling the reader to find the point on which 
he Is seeking light, without wasting his time in turning over 
the leaves. 
HOW CROPS GROW. 
A Treatise on the Chemical Composition, structure, and 
Lite of the Plant. TYitli numerous illustrations and tables- 
of analyses. By Prof. Samuel "\V . Johnson, of 
Tale College. Price $2.00. 
This book is a guide to the knowledge of agricultural 
plants, their composition, their structure, and modes of de- 
velopment and growth; of the complex organization of 
plants, and the uses of the parts ; the germination of seeds, 
and the food of plants obtained both from the air and the 
soil. Very full and accurate tables of analyses are given, 
and tables of the proportions existing between different 
principles, oily, starchy, or nitrogenous, in the same and 
different plants. The book is an invaluable one to all real 
studeuts of agriculture. 
HOW CROPS FEED. 
A Treatise on the Atmosphere, and the Soil as related to 
the Nutrition of Agricultural Plants. Illustrated. By Prof. 
Samuel W. Johnson, of Yale College. Price, $2.00. 
The work entitled " How Crops Grow" has been received 
with very great favor, not only in America, but in Europe. 
It has been republished in England under the joint Editor- 
ship of Professors Church and Dyer, of the Royal Agricul- 
tural College, at Cirencester, and a translation into German 
is soon to appear, at the instigation of Professor von Liebig. 
The author, therefore, puts forth this volume— the com- 
panion and complement to the former— with the hope that it 
also will be welcomed by those who appreciate the scientific 
aspects of Agriculture, and are persuaded that a true 
Theory is the surest guide to a successful Practice. 
AGRICULTURAL CHEMICAL ANALYSIS. 
After E. Wolff, Presenilis, Krockcr, and others. Edited by 
Prof. G. C. Caldwell, of Cornell University. Price $2.00. 
In this work Professor Caldwell has brought together the 
processes of analysis which apply especially to soils, fertil- 
izers, animals and plants, and their products. He lias tested 
the methods of the best foreign authorities, and presented 
them in a compact hand-book. Such a work has long been 
needed by all who teach agricultural chemistry, and by 
analytical chemists generally. Professor Caldwell modestly 
calls himself the editor, but his book shows that he has not 
contented himself with editing the works of others, but has 
given much of his own experience. 
PARSONS OiV THE ROSE. 
A Treatise on the Propagation, Culture, and History of 
the Rose. Revised and newly electrotyped. Illustrated. 
By Samuel B. Parsons. Price $1.50. 
The Rose is the only flower that can be said to have a his- 
tory. It is popular now and was so centuries ago. In his 
work upon the Rose, Mr. Parsons has gathered up the curi- 
ous legends concerning the flower, and gives us an idea of 
the esteem in which it was held In former times. A simple 
garden classification has been adopted, and the leading vari- 
eties under each class enumerated and briefly described. 
The chapters on multiplication, cultivation, and training, 
are very full, and the work rs altogether the most complete 
of any before the public.
