Abstract
THE essays in this volume refer more to the economics than the science of agriculture. The author, who has had a long experience of agricultural public life, and has contributed many valuable manuals to the literature of farming, acknowledges that agriculturists fail to recognise the two great elementary requirements of the hour —technical instruction, to which alone farmers can look for their advancement in knowledge and success, and cooperation. The Countess of Warwick contributes an introduction to the volume, on “Women and the Future of Agriculture.”
