Literature for Pastoralists,

I Two of the most remarkable pictures of , icebergs that we have evei seen appear in th© current number of the Pastoralists.' Review. They are taken from, photographs Iby Captain Greenetreet, of the R.M.Si Rimutaka. But that journal abounds in illustrations of an interesting character. Then there are on this occasion some particularly readable articles. " The Wool' Outlook for 1909," by S. B. 'Rollings, of ; Bradford, is certainly a contribution by a thoroughly competent authority. It ought to be read by every sheep-farmer who wants to 'know what is going to happen, next. Brighter prospects are what Mr Hollings foretells. Then there is other reading matter, referring to Lincolnshire Red Shorthorns, Wheat Versus Wool, A Decade of Sheep, How is the Northern Territory to be Settled. The Queensland Government Flock, Notes on Turnip Culture, Queensland Income Tax, Ostrich Farming, and Breeding Lambs for Export. _ Other distinctive features of th© Pastoralists* Review are the well 4. informed letters which reach the editor. These come from . men of posi? I tive knowledge, and are not only informa« tive, but instructive. Of course there appear the usual reports — all by specialists — • I from Australia and New Zealand, together I with, the Bradford wool letter and the London frozen meat letter. It is, however, not possible to recapitulate the entire contents |of this most ably-oonducted magazine. I Suffice it to say that the present number of the Pastoralists' Review in no whit lacks the attractive and distinctive featur.** which distinguished its predecessors.
