The

"Mr. Moubray's little Book on the Breeding, Rearing, and Fattening all Kinds of Domestic Poultry and Pigs, is unquestionably the most Practical Work on the subject in our language. The Author's aim seems to have been to avoid scientific detail, and to convey his information in plain and intelligible terms. The convenience of a small poultry yard,-two or three pigs, with a breeding sow,-and a cow for cream, milk, butter, and cheese,-in any English country house, appears indispensable; and to point out how these may be obtained at a reasonable expense, seems to have been Mr. Moubray's object. By adopting the plan of his Work, any family may furnish their table with these luxuries at one third of the price they are obliged to pay at the markets; and the Farmer and Breeder may render it the source of considerable profit."—Farmer's Journal.
