THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
Our Book Uable 
Bacteria in Relation to Country Life. 5^x6^, 486 pages, 
including index and glossary. Illustrated. By Jacob G. Lip- 
man, A.M., Ph.D. Published by the MacMillan Company, New 
York. Price $1.50 net. 
This volume discusses in simple, direct, easily understood 
manner, the structure, growth and function of bacteria. The rela¬ 
tion of bacteria to air and water, and therefore health and disease, is 
very clearly presented in Parts I and II. In Part III a thorough 
discussion of bacteria in relation to sewage and sewage disposal is 
considered. This part is of special interest to towns and cities 
which are dealing with the problem of safe and practical disposal of 
sewage. Here we have sewage farms, sewage tanks and filter beds, 
the sanitary value of sewage irrigation and allied topics, thoroughly 
treated. Part IV treats of bacteria in relation to soil fertility, and 
discusses the important function of these micro-organisms in this 
connection. Again, bacteria in relation to the handling of domestic 
manures is an important subject, and one not as completely under¬ 
stood as it should be. Part V deals with this phase of the fertilizer 
question. Parts VI, VII and VIII deal with bacteria in milk and 
related products, bacteria in relation to preservation of food, and 
bacteria in relation to fermentive processes as typified by bread 
making, sugar making, wine and liquor preservation. 
The whole volume is suggestive and presently valuable. It is 
untechnical and may be understood by the most elementary student. 
It is a volume which can be commended to farmer, nurseryman, 
country and city dweller alike, with confidence in the feeling that it 
will be of great value.
