Excerpt from Laboratory Methods in Agricultural Bacteriology There is at present an abundance of literature dealing with practical bacteriology for medical students and the same holds good with regard to microbiology in the brewery industries. On the other hand, there has always been a want of a laboratory book on methods of Practical Agricultural Bacteriology - Bacteriology of Foods, Dairy Products, Manures, and Soils. This book will, it is hoped, in some measure supply this felt want. We have been able to collect the material for this volume during our experience as teacher in the Agricultural Bacteriological Laboratory of the University of Leipzig. The contents of the book have been so arranged that it should prove of value either as a guide to a complete course in Agricultural Bacteriology or to special work in some particular branch of the subject. While the book has been designed specially for Students Of Agriculture, we believe it will be found serviceable to others also. Thus Teachers of Agriculture, Agricultural Chemistry, and Of other sciences relating to Agriculture, will probably find it useful when attempting to answer questions Of a bacteriological nature which arise from time to time in their work.
