STABLE ECONOMY: A Treatise on the Management of Horses, in re- lation to stabling, grooming, feeding, watering and working. By John Stewart, Veterinary Surgeon, author of “Advice to Purchasers of Horses,” and lately Professor of Veterinary Medicine in the Andersonian University, Glasgow. From the third English Edition, with notes and additions, adapting it to American food and climate, by A. B. Allen, Editor of the American Agriculturist. New York; D. Appleton & Co., 200 Broadway. 1845.

The value of this well-known work, by Stewart, on the Management of Horses, is greatly increased for the use of Americans, by additions from A. B. Allen. Esq., the accomplished editor of the American Agriculturist. Mr. Allen has been engaged in the business of rearing and breeding horses on his own farm for the past ten years, and in his recent trip to England he had abundant opportunities, by personal inspection, of gaining much valuable information on every subject relating to the horse. He has also availed himself of all tlie discoveries made by the eminent philosophers whose labors in the department of agricultural chemistry during the last five years, have thrown so much light on the properties of food for man and beast, a subject of which Stewart had but little knowledge.

The work is very well printed and copiously illustrated with exceedingly neat wood cuts. Altogether it is a work of great value, which every owner of a horse should possess.
