A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON 
THE SHEEP. 
DESIGNED ESPECIALLY FOR 
AMERICAN SHEPHERDS. 
By HENRY STEWART. 
ILLUSTRATED. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
We like this hook very much, as it treats of the modern 
improved breeds of sheep. It treats of sheep as ail in¬ 
dustrial product; of the summer management of sheep ; 
of the best soils ; of the best pastures and grasses ; the 
best way to feed roots ; management of ewes mid lambs; 
winter management; breeds and breeding sheep ; wool, 
its structure and uses; diseases and remedies, etc. AA r e 
would advise every breeder to get this manual.— The 
Michigan Farmer, Detroit. 
Mr. Stewart is a veteran shepherd, and his knowledge 
lias been gathered in the reliable, if sometimes tardy 
school of experience, and by this means alone lie has 
learned successfully bow to meet the needs of the modern 
improved breeds of sheep in American climate, and under 
American methods.— The Weekly Blade, Toledo, O. 
It is a work of 252 pages, handsomely illustrated, show¬ 
ing tiic various breeds of sheep, ami contains many oilier 
illustrations that will be of great service to the shepherd. 
— Colman's Rural World, St. Louis. 
Henry Stewart lias written, and Orange Judd Co. have 
published, the most thorough and practical treatise upon 
the management and breeding of sheep, that has yet been 
prepared for the shepherd. With the exception of Ran¬ 
dall’s Sheep Husbandry, which relates especially to 
Merinos mid fine wool, the American shepherd has hither¬ 
to had no help except from English works, not only out 
of date, but incomplete, giving no account of the modem 
improved breeds, or of the diseases to which they are 
subject, and the occasional paper read before the Farm¬ 
er’s Club. lie can congratulate himself now upon the 
possession of a manual superior in every respect, and 
thoroughly trustworthy.— The World , New York. 
Tlie book cannot fail to bo of great value to all farmers 
who are breeding this kind of stock, and its sale will be 
large, especially in the AVest, where sheep growing is ac¬ 
quiring new importance! — The Indiana Farmer, Indiana¬ 
polis. 
AA’e have seen no agricultural work for a long time 
which appears so well calculated to answer its purpose.— 
The Dirigo Rural, Bangor, Me. 
Avery practical treatise on a very important depart¬ 
ment of stock raising.— The Congregationalist, Boston. 
It contains a condensed amount o£ practical informa¬ 
tion, of which every farmer who attends less or more to 
sheep raising should avail himself.— The United Pres¬ 
byterian, Pittsburgh.

Play and Profit 
IN MY GARDEN. 
By E„ P= R©E, 
Author of “Barriers Burned Away," etc. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
The author takes us to his garden on the rocky hill-sides in 
the vicinity of AA’est Point and shows us how out of it, after 
four years' experience, lie evoked a profit of $1,000, and this 
while carrying on pastoral and literary labors.It 
is very rare that so much literary taste and skill are mated 
to so much agricultural experience and practical good sense. 
—Earner’s Magazine, 
This book is as poetical as it is practical. Still lie is no 
dreamer. He goes into every essential detail with as much 
minuteness and precision as if he were writing a manual for 
the practical farmer. Indeed few works professedly de¬ 
voted to agriculture give more sound and valuable informa¬ 
tion on the secret of winning golden harvests from the soil 
than this brief idyllic sketch.— N. Y. Tribune.
