Monrad Esq., of Kunnythorpe, a pamphlet compiled by him entitled " Modern Dairy Implement*." The publication contains a number of article*), of great interest to dairy farmers, together with valuable hints as to dairy management. It contains a number of illustration's of the latest appliances m the industry, wad two photographic plates, giving a 'kind of pieto iai history of dairying from the earliest times down to the present. The book is published at one shilling, and should find teady sale, both m this district' and m other pirts of the coloiiy where fanne d are alive to their ©vim interest.
