principally a description of the methods practiced by the author. A
specially valuable part of this book consists of a minute description of

Pa. On the farm of fifteen acres, which twenty years ago could not
maintain one horse and two cows, there are now kept twenty-seven dairy
cattle, in addition to two horses. All the roughage, litter, bedding,

which has systematized the subject of animal breeding. The leading laws
which govern this most intricate question the author has boldly defined
and authoritatively arranged. The chapters which he has written on the
more involved features of the subject, as sex and the relative influence
of parents, should go far toward setting at rest the wildly speculative
views cherished with reference to these questions. The striking
