Abstract
THIS periodical, a quarterly journal in its second year of publication, professes to deal with all questions of applied science affecting agriculture. The papers contained in the present number are mostly of a thoroughly practical character. They treat of such matters as the testing of steam-engines at agricultural exhibitions, the examination and adjustment of levelling instruments, the cause of boiler explosions, the mean velocity of water in canals and rivers, and the usefulness and profitableness of various machines for agricultural purposes. One paper gives a description of English locomotives for use on ordinary roads. The journal is well got up and amply illustrated.
