Abstract
WE are told in the preface that this little work is in substance a chapter from a larger work on “Soils and Manures,” on which the author is at present engaged. Perhaps we may be excused if we fail to see the necessity of publishing this chapter separately in advance. It certainly contains much information from German works, such as Heiden's “Düngerlehre,” but the book is written mainly from the chemist's point of view and not from the farmer's. The pamphlet gives one the impression of having been hurriedly prepared, but no doubt its deficiencies will be remedied in the larger book.
Farmyard Manure.
