Abstract
THIS little book, which is a handbook for practical farmers, and is not addressed to the agricultural student, is issued opportunely. It contains the full text of the Fertilisers and Feeding Stuffs Act 1S93, and the Regulations and Forms of the Board of Agriculture relating to the same, and also some useful notes on the Act, by Mr. A. J. David, Barrister-at-Law. Dr. Dyer's notes were first published in the form of newspaper articles, and have been reprinted by request; they will prove very useful to the class to whom they are addressed, containing as they do short descriptions of the origin, composition, and uses of farmyard manure, artificial manures, and of purchased feeding stuffs, all of a practical nature. The notes on the new “Fertilisers and Feeding Stuffs Act” will also be useful to those who wish to put this Act into use; but these, we anticipate, will be few.
Fertilisers and Feeding Stuffs; their Properties and Uses.
By Bernard Dyer (Lond.) (London: C. Lockwood and Co., 1894.)
