Abstracts and Reviews of Dairy Literature

Dairy Cattle Feeding and Management. C. W. LARSON AND FRED S.

PUTNEY. New York, John Wiley & Sons, 1917.

A valuable service has been rendered dairy instructors and students as well as others interested in the feeding, care and management of dairy cattle in the publication of this thorough and up-to-date treatise. The book is prepared in a very attractive form being printed on paper of excellent quality which renders very clear and distinct not only the text but the decidedly helpful illustrations which have been carefully chosen to enhance the value of the textual material. The subject matter is conveniently divided into lectures and a full list of references is appended to each.

Before taking up the practical phases of feeding, the authors discuss in detail the principles of nutrition of dairy cattle, including digestion and metabolism, and outline briefly the development of feeding standards. Modern methods of balancing rations are treated thoroughly as well as the selection of feeds. A table of analyses of feeding stuffs conveniently arranged for ready reference is contained in the appendix.
