Mich Cows AND DAIRY FARMING.-Charles L. Flint
of Boston, Secretary of the Massachusetts Board Agr
before FULLY treated in this country which, if we mistake
n2tf prove the most valuable book for universal
try There IS scarcely anything worth knowing, about
how TO select cow how to treat her, and how to make
butter and cheese that be found in this
which contains numerous illustrations besides its
ties, and much personal observation. 1t is work that
was much needed, and one that in recommending we
good paper clear type with many well engrav
sell for 81 25-Nec York Tribune! S.
This work is marked by the cearness and perspcuity
which have characterized MIR. Flnts previous produc-
tons 1t contains account of the most enlightened
bandry Holland and the most recent and productive
modes of management in English dairy farming, ebrac
ing large amount of practical and scientific information
not hitherto presented to the American public in an
available form.-Sdlenl Gusette.
We recommend the work to every one who keeps cow
or intends to do so.-Ohio Farmer
We recommend it as matter of economy; because if
studied it cannot fail to impart facts of more value
most dairymen and dairywonen than several times its
cost-New England Farmer.
1t should be in the hands of every owner of cow
Vermont Stock Journal.
1t can but rank as standard American diary book
the best we have hesitation in saying yet issued upon
the subject-Coantfy Gentleman.
Mich Cows AND DAIRY FARMING.-Ths is a well writ
ten work aordng great deal of highly valuable inor
nation respecting the topics treated 1t is both thorough
and PRACTICAL and does not urge expensive experiments,
winch are alike beyond the reach of the ordinary farmer
and doubtful in their results The directions clear
minute and abundantly illustrated, with ingeniousy
planned and sharply outlined cuts The chapter the
dairy husbandry of Holland translated from the German
OF Eerbrook, professor in the Agricultural Institute
Zeyst is extremely entertaining well instructive
Every custom in this department which has obtained
among that ceanly and dgen people, is least worth
knowing since they spare pains to sustain the reputa
ton which their butter and cheese has obtained both
Europe and America Indeed all the suggestions in this
volume are worthy of consideration Upon subject do
we so much need scientific and practical instruction
upon that of husbandry in its various branches and
nearly all that is contained in this book will be found
both useful and experimentation Journal.
Mr. Flint possesses every qualification for the task he
as undertaken, patience in research love the sub
ects, great opportunities for information, scholarly
mld and an acquaintance with all the theories and
tens on neat stock and the management of tho dairy
which have prevailed, and he has performed especial
service for the farmers of this country furnishing them
with this complete manual.-G owdrd'S Register.
The more examine the book the better we like it.
10 say that 1t superior to any work hitherto published
on that subject is not enough it is better book
KIND than we had hoped to have opportunity of well
coming to the shelves of our agricultural library
