Farm Buildings for Landowners, Agents, and Tenants. By Charles Edward

Curtis. (Vinton and Co. 3s. 6d. net.)-This is a thoroughly practical little book, which should be of service to landowners and agents who want details of cost and construction of various appurtenances of a farm or small holding without the necessity of referring to an architect or a builder. Stalls, cow- byres, rain-tanks, pigsties, details of doors, flooring, drainage, and so on are dealt with in some 140 pages. Dairies are excluded, as belonging properly to separate blocks of buildings apart from the farmyard and the possible contamination of milk.
