    Animal Husbandry for Schools By MERRITT W. HARPER Associate Professor of Animal Husbandry in the New York State College of Agriculture at Cornell University Cloth, 1277io, ill. 409 pages. $1.40 To meet the demand for a book on Animal Husbandry suitable for use by students of high school age this book has been written, and in content, style, and arrangement it is admirably adapted to the purpose. It belongs to the Rural Textbook Series prepared under the editorial supervision of Professor L. H. Bailey of Cornell University. In the five parts into which the book is divided the author treats of horses, cattle, sheep, swine, and poultry, and each is discussed with reference to breeds, judging the animal, feeding, and care and management. There is also a chapter on the general principles of feeding. Practical questions and numerous laboratory exercises supplement the text and compel the student to think through each subject as he proceeds. The book is extensively illustrated. Designed for use as a textbook, it is also well suited for use as a refer¬ ence book in schools in which time limitations make it impossible to use it as a text. THE MACMILLAN COMPANY
