"N.Z.

An article entitled "Pedigree Pastures" tells of thi 13 years' work by Canterbury Agricultural College in developing a strain of cockefoot grass for pasturage, and is an outstanding example of the wide range of articles contained in this new journal. Other examples are the diagrams on the points of a good baconer, the greater profits that come from planned topdreseing, details of a shipment of Southdown sheep for New South Wales, and a survey of the autumn shows. Every branch of farming is adequately covered.
