The Dairy (London): "A compendium of exact and scientific experimental knowledge which will be found of the utmost value to anyone engaged in the pursuit of dairy farming and its cognate trades…It gives in clear and unmistakeable language the whole of the dairy manipulation from beginning to end…The author has dealt with the points at issue in so general a manner that his book is of world-wide application and usefulness…An illuminating series of chapters on all phases of milk questions and problems."
The Field (London): "He knows his subject well and has rendered a service to the dairying industry by placing at its disposal a book of high instructive value and practical character."
Australasian Medical Gazette: "If medical men were to suggest that this book on dairying would be very useful to those engaged in the milk trade, in a short time much of the deplorable ignorance that now exists on the prevention of the infection of milk with all kinds of bacteria would be dispelled."
