King’s Farm Manual.—We have received from Mr. John K. King, the Royal seed grower, of Coggeshall, Essex, and Reading, Berks, a copy of his Farm Manual for 1899. It is an exceedingly well-got-up and attractive work ot 40 pages, and is worth careful perusal by all agriculturists. From the introduction headed “106 years’ record,” we learn that Mr. John K. King’s seeds are grown on his seven large seed farms in Essex, a county celebrated for seed growing from time immemorial. Every year Mr. King saves his seeds from pedigree bulls, and there is a striking photograph iilustra ting the process of selection. As the result of this painstaking selection, Mr. King claims that no less than £25,000 in prizes have been awarded to his customers. There are some fine photographs of the Koval Parks of London, which were sown with Mr. John K. King’s celebrated grass seeds in 1897 by order of H.M. First Commissioner of Works, and his seeds will again be sown this year. It is worthy of note that the germination of Mr. King’s seeds this year were found to be considerably higher than the growth stipulated, and Mr. King has received payment in excess of the invoice price in consequence. The questions of permanent and temporary pastures are dealt with in an able and exhaustive manner, and Mr. King’s celebrated prescriptions are fully detailed, so that farmers can have no possible doubt as to what they are sowing. There is a well-executed coloured plate of Mr. John K. King’s new swede, “John Bull,” which bids fair to eclipse all others, and the numerous varieties of mangel, swede and turnips with which Mr. King’s name has been so long identified are well illustrated. We recommend every agriculturist to send for this work, as it is not only useful from a scientific point of view, but illustrates what can be done by a house which can claim 196 years’ careful and painstaking attention to every detail of the seed trade.

INSURANCE OF PROPERTY AGAINST INJURY.
A NEW SCHEME.
We understand that a novel scheme of insurance has been introduced by the Northern Accident Insurance Company, Limited. This is a scheme to cover house and estate agents and property owners against claims that may be made against the owners or agents of property for injuries caused to the tenants, or persons outside, in the event of anything going wrong with the property, such, for instance, as a ceiling coming down, a floor giving ■way, or bricks, tiles, or a coping coming off the roof, and injuring anybody. Estate agents are beginning to realise their responsibility with regard to such risks, and the new system of insurance comes at a very appropriate time. The need of such a means of relief as is now afforded is furnished by the important case of “ Broggi v. Robins,” reported in our issue of February 25.
The estate agent has invariably come to the conclusion that he w״as not responsible for such accidents, and that an agreement existing with the tenant was sufficient to protect him; but, judging from the reports of many cases in which this point of liability arose, it seems pretty evident that such a contention can no longer be fairly upheld.
The Northern Insurance Company offer, for a very nominal premium, to cover the risk, and thus enable the agent or owner of the property to feel secure. If such a risk as that involved in the case of “ Broggi v. Robins in which, though ultimately decided in favour of the estate agent, costs to a considerable amount were incurred in defeating the claim—had been insured with this company, and they had taken up the defence, the costs would have been paid by them ; and it is generally known that a tenant ■who has nothing to lose is just the one to take action. By being insured, house agents and property owners are also relieved of a considerable amount of worry, to say nothing of the anxiety if heavy claims arise. The grounds of action are various, and the amounts awarded are substantially large
We believe the Northern Accident Insurance Company will be pleased to give any information required in regard to the character of the risks they are prepared to cover, the amount of premium, etc. This scheme has already been adopted by some of the leading house and estate agents in all parts of the country, and many have expressed their appreciation of it.
