Farm Rccorde and the Production of Clean Milk at Moundsmere.
By Wilfred Buckley. (Country I/ife. 15s. net.)—Mr. Buckley's book, though handsomely produced with many photographs, is strictly practical in its purpose. He attributes his success as an amateur farmer in no small measure to his careful account-keeping, and he describes his system in great detaiL On some points, as for instance the adoption of market prices and not actual cost of production in crop accounts, experts will differ from him, but his general method is sound, and has been applied without difficulty elsewhere. Mr. Buckley also describes his dairy farm practice, in which every precaution is taken to produce clean milk. The old-fashioned farmer would probably smile at some features of the improved process of milking ; he does not realize that a consign- ment of impure milk may do more harm than an enemy air raid.
