Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Breeding Plants and Animals
The author of these papers, which were published in the Breeders' Gazette in 1902 and 1904, joins with the proprietor of that paper, Mr. Alvin Sanders, in giving to the Farm Students' Review the right to publish them in book form. They were not written with any thought of their republication. Some revision has been made to make clearer the text and to better adapt it to new conditions. The deferred plan of writing a contem plated text on Breeding, covering the laws of here dity in plants, lower animals and man, and the prac tice of breeding, on account of present lack of time has caused a reluctant agreement to the publication of these articles. No other apology is made for the form of the articles than that they were written con current with publication for a periodical. Any profits which may come from publishing this book is all to accrue to the Farm Students' Review, the agricultural college paper of Minnesota, the author and the first publisher having relinquished all rights. It is hoped that the readers of these notes may realize that the purpose was to promote an interest and to arouse all to begin larger efforts to improve plants and animals, rather than to write a scientifically arranged text. And it is hoped that the enterprising college paper which has undertaken its republication may profit from its sale.
