Abstract
THIS volume contains abstracts of lectures delivered by a considerable number of well-known authorities upon agricultural matters. Mr. Carruthers and the late Prof. Buckman give their experiences upon grasses and farm seeds; Prof. Wrightson has a paper upon land drainings; dairy management and farm crops are treated of by Professors Huldon and Fream and Mr. Bernard Dyer; Mr. Henry Woods contributes lectures upon Southdown sheep and ensilage; while Mr. Warrmgton has a contribution upon the nitrogenous matter in soils; and Mr. Worthington Smith gives some good observations upon corn mildews. The names of the authors of the various lectures are a sufficient guarantee of their soundness and worth.
