Excerpt from The Farm and the Dairy Herewith is given, as far as space has permitted, the substance of lectures delivered during the last ten years at the College of Agriculture, Downton. I desire in the preface to remind the public of the great and unique services rendered to British Dairy Farming by the late H. M. Jenkins, many years the able and indefatigable Secretary of the Royal Agricultural Society, whose lucid expositions of the dairy practices of several Continental countries have added so much to our knowledge of what other people are doing, and Whose life-work ended far too early in the grave.

Excerpt from The Farm Dairy The young man who fits himself by education and training to master the details of farm work is sure to succeed. I fully believe there is no field open to the young man that offers as great opportunities for the development of character, and for the-a.cquisition of good health and a competency as does agriculture. We have just commenced to open our eyes to the opportunities. Keep in touch with the agri cultural colleges and experiment stations where experts are working out problems in their special lines, and remember that the educated practical farmer is in the future to be looked up to by all classes. He is to be the only lord in this country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Dairy Farm: Dairy Cattle Methods, and Dairy Farm Management With this great advantage in economy of pro duction, it is quite easy to discern why the dairy cow tends to supplant the meat-bearing animals in regions where land is high priced and popula tion dense. She gives the greatest financial re turns from the feeds grown on the farm, and there fore enables the owner to get the necessary added returns from his high-priced land. Still easier is it to see why the dairy cow has supplanted the meat-bearing animals where land has become im poverished. Here she enables the farmer to get the greatest financial returns from what little his land does produce and at the same time returns to the soil practically all the plant food taken out by the feed she eats. One of the favorable economic features of the dairy business is the regularity and dependability of the returns. This appeals particularlv to the small farmer of limited means to whom security of returns is of more moment than the volume of profits. Moreover a development of dairying on a small farm afl'ords an opportunity of increasing the volume of business on a limited area. With the well recognized business results of larger profit; from larger business on the same plant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Feeding Dairy Cattle The Savage articles on Feeding Dairy Cattle have been published in the World from 1916 to the present time, and were reprinted in book form in 1917 and again in 1918. Breeders and dairymen appreciated that nothing of this sort had ever before been prepared for their benefit - a series of practical articles giving explicit directions on the important question of how to feed their dairy cows most efficiently and most economically. In addition, it was written not only from the standpoint of the ordinary dairyman, but from the point of view of the Holstein breeder as well - the breeder who is anxious to make the most of his opportunities. In short, the book of Savage articles comprised the most complete, understandable and up-to-the-minute text-book of Holstein feeding information ever put together. The first edition was quickly snapped up by the breeders, and likewise by agricultural colleges and schools, who bought these books in quantity for text-book use. In view of this enthusiastic reception, backing up our judgment in the matter, we are issuing a third edition, revised and brought down to date. The entire subject of feeding dairy cattle, as handled by Professor Savage, is based upon actual methods in use by successful dairymen. This book differs from the ordinary text-book in the important respect that every theory is made to deliver the goods in actual practice before it is accepted. Professor Savage is recognized as an authority on feeding matters. His ideas have proven successful not only in his own experience, but in the hands of dairymen and breeders who have put them into practice. He is in charge of the foundation courses in Feeds and Feeding at Cornell University, and has done considerable experimental and research work in feeding in that institution. Several cows with records of 30 to 35 pounds have been bred and developed in the university herd, and one of these cows, Glista Ernestine, has made seven different 30-pound records. The handling of these cows forms the basis of an interesting chapter in this book. The details of the care and feed of a number of the leading producers, in both short and longtime tests, as given by the men in actual charge, form the basis of other chapters, invaluable to the man who is interested in getting the greatest possible returns from his test work. Altogether we can commend this book to our Holstein friends in full confidence that its careful study will result in added knowledge of the subject of feeding that will be of practical service to them in their business as Holstein breeders and dairymen.
