Outlines of Modern Farming. By Robert Scott Burn. Volume Ill—

Cattle, Sheep, and Horses. (Virtue Brothers and Co.)—The value of Mr. Burn's outlines, which really contain a tolerably copious treatment of the topics of which they speak, is by this time pretty well known to agriculturists. This volume is admirably illustrated, and is particularly to be praised for the importance which it attaches to sound principles of feeding. It should be road by all breeders of stock. But surely a three-year-old colt is too young to be set to bard work.
