Excerpt from Outlines of Bacteriology: Technical and Agricultural This book is intended to serve as an introduction to Bacteriology in all its branches, though more attention has been bestowed on that aspect of the subject which is of most interest to students of technical and agricultural bacteriology. Of late years, great strides have been made in this fascinating subject, and an attempt has been made to incorporate in the text the recent developments that are of fundamental importance. In some instances, as for example in our conceptions of the anaerobic bacteria, important changes have taken place. In other instances, however, our knowledge is still incomplete and rudimentary. Controversial questions, and matters requiring a technical knowledge of a special nature have been either omitted or have received only a passing reference. In all cases, where a technical application of bacteriology is discussed, the aim has been the demonstration of the fundamental principles which underlie that application, rather than the discussion of the details. It has been deemed advisable to introduce a comparatively large amount of matter of purely theoretical interest, because in no other branch of science is a theoretical knowledge more necessary than in the science of Bacteriology. When one bears in mind that the organisms which are here discussed are visible only with the highest magnifications of the microscope, are very changeable in their nature, and are everywhere present around us, the need for a thorough theoretical training becomes obvious, even for those who wish only to make practical applications.

Excerpt from A Manual of Bacteriology for Agricultural and General Science Students The study of bacteriology in technical schools of all kinds has grown rapidly in the past few years, and especially in the institutions which teach agriculture and allied subjects. The present work is an attempt to outline a profitable course for students in such classes. The Manual is the outgrowth of several years' experience in teaching bacteriology to students of agriculture and engineering, and includes some experiments which have not previously appeared in print. The writer has tried to outline many experiments calling for the simplest kind of equipment, but which should acquaint the student with some fundamental facts concerning bacteria. In the main, however, the Manual is devoted to more extended experiments which call for precise results and need precise apparatus for their performance. Wherever possible the experiments are planned to give quantitative results, to the end that vagueness of statement and uncertain thinking may disappear. In addition to the outline for the study of bacteria, a section has been added outlining the study of important fermentations caused principally by fungi. In most cases the agricultural student desires to become acquainted with the more fundamental principles of the cultivation of these organisms. The appendixes are intended to present in a convenient form both new and well-known methods. The section on sterilization is designed to aid the advanced worker by supplementing the facts given in the body of the Manual. Emphasis is placed upon several facts recently brought out in investigations on sterilization. References to the literature bearing directly upon the subject of the exercise have been introduced wherever possible. The conspicuous position of these references is designed to stimulate the student to do collateral reading.

Excerpt from Agricultural Bacteriology: For Students in General Agriculture The art of agriculture has long been practised, but the science of agriculture is of comparatively recent origin. This science rests upon the fundamental sciences - chemistry, physics, and biology. One phase of biology, bacteriology, has within the last three decades assumed a most important relationship. The early researches of Pasteur, Koch, and their successors opened the field of inquiry as to the causation of animal disease. More recently, exact knowledge of the influence of microorganisms on soil processes, on dairying, and on foods in general has been greatly extended. It is of the utmost importance for the farmer and the student of agriculture to have a proper conception of these relations. The purpose of the text here presented is to give to the reader and to the student the essential facts concerning the relation of microorganisms to daily life, and especially to that of the farm, without a confusing mass of detail, both chemical and biological, the presentation of which often hides the essential information the student should gain. The terminology is simple. Descriptions of specific organisms have been avoided; and, in general, the various phases of the subject are presented in their broad outlines in order to acquaint the student with the fundamental principles, which can be applied to subjects not considered. A full conception of the relation of microorganisms to agriculture can not be gained without working with them in the laboratory. Without such experience the organisms remain intangible to the student. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
