lstry,. The work is good deal more, how
ever, the chemistry of the farm, than of the
sea, the latter part of the subject occupying
only eight pages of the l23 in the volume.
Besides these topics, the following subjects
are treated: Chemistry of Bowl of Milk !:
Chemistry of the Dwelling Chemistry of a
Kernel of Corn: Obscure Sources of Disease
Local Decomposition in Lead Aqueduct-
Pipes Bread and Bread Making Chemistry
of the Sun. These articles are treated in a
scientific, and yet in a popular way, and
render the book readable as well as useful.
The work Poultry Breeding discusses
that subject, as is declared in the title page,
- now commercial point of view," and with
reference to establishments in Europe devoted
to the business. When eggs are worth from
thirty to fifty cents dozen, it is worth the
while of any one who cares to be a producer
ola profitable article, to consider the methods
of making money in breeding poultry, and
especially that portion Of the poultry family
that produces marketable eggs. We do mt
pretend to be skilled in successful farming,
but we suspect that flock of well kept hens
furnish considerably larger profit on the
investment than a flock Of sheep and if any
body wants to know how such an enterprise
can be made to pay, ne will learn all about
it by consulting this book which treats the
whole subject historically, scientifically and
statistieallv, and yet in popular manner.
And while we are noticing books, we
cannot refrain from again calling attention
to WhiJtier's - SnowBound,' and Owen
Nereiith's :. Lucille, - the elegant gift books
issued by Ticknor & Fields. These magnif-
Gently illustrated holiday gift-books, are
acknowledged by critics to be all that can be
desired; and . Snow Bound is especially
praised as the ohef d Gurre of the publish
cr 5 art.
