Abstract
AN enthusiastic reception may be predicted for this volume on the part of boys and girls in rural schools who Have studied Mr. Buchanan's previous books in this series. There is a surprising amount of information provided, but it is generally presented in a sufficiently interesting manner to avoid weariness on the part of the young reader. The subjects treated—such as manuring, crops, cottage gardens, pigs and poultry—are just those which engage the practical attention of the children out of school, and about which they must know something after leaving school. It is clear from the beginning that Mr. Buchanan writes from personal experience in agricultural pursuits, and this fact will inspire the confidence of the student, while the numerous good illustrations will make quite clear what is being described.
