Abstract
THIS is a well-meant and well-put-together little volume, giving an account of the life-history of most of the animals which, for good or for evil, come across the path of the British agriculturist. Throughout, the attempt is made to prove that, when it is necessary for the saving of a crop to destroy any animal, it is far better to trust to Nature, as being more competent, than to man; but then this seems to beg the whole question, as it presumes that man has not already very much interfered with Nature's regulations.
The Farmer's Friends and Foes.
By Theodore Wood (London: Swan Sonnenschein, Lowrey, and Co., 1888.)
