By F. H. King, Prof, of Agricultural Phy- 
sics in the University of Wisconsin. — The 
Rural Science series, edited by L. H. 
Bailey. New York, MacMillan & Co., 66 
Fifth A ve., price 75 cents. This is the 
initial volume of “The Rural Science Ser- 
ies,” and in the editorial preface Prof. 
Bailey introduces it and suggests the rea- 
sons for the publication of such a series. 
This book illustrates the methods of sci- 
ence as applied to a consideration of soil 
and its uses, conditions and management. 
The author. Prof. King, says he has en- 
deavored to make the work give to the 
reader a rational presentation of the funda- 
mental principles of the soil as they relate 
to the immediately practical aspects of 
agriculture . The book contains some 300 
pages and information enough to make the 
price absolutely insignificant. Such works 
from authoritative workers in the field 
they cover are of inestimable value, and 
also indicate the value of the Agricultural 
Experiment Stations.

pecially since you have changed the name 
as well as to general high tone. I think 
it is just the kind of a paper needed for 
park and cemetery officials, and wish you 
every success. Harlan P. Kelsey,

This system is thought to embrace the best features of the most popular forms of burial records now in use 
and may be adapted to large or small cemeteries. The Interment Record gives all of the necessary inform- 
ation in regard to the deceased, and the Lot Book locates every grave, so that it can be readily found at 
any time. The books are printed on heavy paper, substantially bound and furnished in different sizes, de- 
pending upon the requirements of the cemetery.
