A SHEEP-FARMING HANDBOOK.
The latest of Messrs. Whitcombe and Tombs’s series of Practical Handbooks to appear is “ Sheep-farming in New Zealand,” by William Perry, with contributions by other specialists. This is a branch of our agriculture whose treatment in simple book form has really been long overdue. The publishers of the present work have been well advised in their selection of principal author, Mr. Perry, the well-known studmaster of “ Penrose,” Wairarapa, being exceptionally well qualified for the part. The little volume ; is written primarily for the young farmer, whom it takes through the various phases of the subject, from choosing and equipping a sheep-farm, breeding,- management, and feeding, to the preparation of the clip for sale. The book,. however, will also be useful to' a wider circle, and the discerning reader of experience will appreciate Mr. Perry’s intimate touch in many places. The volume, which includes a number of photo' illustrations of stud-sheep of various breeds, is bound in cloth, and is issued at the price of five shillings. . ' ,
