Ltd., 188 [ Lambton Quay, Wellington, a line j volume entitled, ‘'.Management and - Diseases of Sheep m Australia.” This 1 is described as the first practical work on Australian .sheep-raising over issued. That the work is thorough and I exhaustive there' is no doubt, and the ' records of the authors ami editor prose ’ their right to undertake such an im-

port ant t ask. i Tire most impressive I’aet about the book - is the common-sense a nil practical I way the information is given ; it is a i mine if informal ion. and mulling an-1 pears to lie overlooked. In fact, as j the publishers say in the purl’ace. “Ihej man on tire land when in. doubt wi ! l nob turn in vain to its pages.” Take! ! a. few examples : I | The care of horses, and how to get 1 the best service from them is an im-f portant part of station ]ife. . Over 20 pages are devoted to this subject, and everything practical, .such as care if feet breaking in, diagnosis and treatment of diseases, points in choosing, care of during work, t-hc teeth' and how to tell the age thereby (illustrated), is given ; and finally there is an additional chapter giving particulars of iifmsehold drugs and how to use them.

Again, water conservation, dealing with, tho sinking of wells and boros, and building of tanks, dams, etc., leaves nothing of tho practical side untold, and all this before the main ‘Subject is approached. Over 100 pages of vital information are given before Chapter 1 XIV-. is readied, which deals with broods and breeding. Many of the hitherto only dimly appreciated points regarding tins ticklish subject are made as dear pas noon-day. The mistakes in. breeding are dearly outlined_ and tire value of tin’s chapter is very great t° those who vnyli (o breed prolitab’y and surely. \tvst comes a useful chanter on handling and fattening f-heep for market. and thou the chanters relating to lambing and lamb-marking, which go through every part oi practical lambing. and illo" difficulties of sheep men in connection with complications in
