Book Reviews 
A Guide to the Country Home. By Edward K. Parkinson. 
151 pp., illust. The Outing Publishing Co. Price $1. 
This is in effect a brief outline describing the factors to be con¬ 
sidered in the choice of a country home. It gives directions for the 
outfitting, arrangement of buildings, stocking the barns, manage¬ 
ment of the soil, crop rotation, etc. All phases of the subject are 
treated in an entirely untechnical manner. It leaves out of con¬ 
sideration relatively unimportant matters, treating the supposed 
important in a direct, didactic manner. Of course it is impossible 
within the scope of such a small work to cover such a broad field in 
an adequate manner. The book, therefore, is to be regarded as sug¬ 
gestive and not by any means complete. Our country is too large 
and too varied in its soil and climatic conditions to admit of the 
covering of the whole ground in a satisfactory manner in our small 
volume. It is, however, an excellent guide for the beginner who will 
gain much information of immediate value.
