BOOKS FOR FARMERS and OTHERS. 
HARRIS ON THE PIG. 
Breeding, Bearing, Management, and Improvement. With 
numerous Illustrations. By Josepli Harris. Price, $1.50. 
This is the only American treatise upon the breeding, 
rearing, and management of swine, and is by one thorough¬ 
ly familiar with the whole subject. The poiutsof the various 
English and American breeds are thoroughly discussed, and 
the great advantage of using thorough-bred males clearly 
shown. The work is equally valuable to the farmer who 
keeps but few pigs, and to the breeder on an extensive scale.

AMERICAN CATTLE. 
Their History, Breeding, and Management. Illustrated. 
By Lewis F. Allen. Price $2.50. 
This book will be considered indispensable by every 
breeder of live-stock. The large experience of the author 
iu improving the character of American herds adds to the 
weight of his observations, and lias enabled him to produce 
a work which will at once make good its claims as a stand¬ 
ard authority ou the subject. An excellent feature of the 
volume is Its orderly, methodical arrangement, condensing 
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.
