POULTRY CULTURE FOR PROFIT

With a Chapter on the Intensive System, Illustrated Guide to the General Management of Poultry, Including Selection, Housing, Hatching, Rearing, Feeding, Marketing, EtcOther points in the book have not been so commonly insisted upon. I have found them useful and give them for what they are worth.I am greatly indebted to many who have gone before me, and more especially to the late Mr. Lewis Wright, who most kindly encouraged my earliest efforts in writing. I consider his great work, The Book of Poultry, by far the best contribution to the poultry literature of our age.I have also acknowledged my indebtedness to the various writers and speakers at the National Poultry Con ference held at Reading in July of this year. I should likewise express my thanks to the Proprietors of Feathered Life for permission to use several of the illustrations which appear in the text.I hope that a companion volume may shortly follow, as an endeavour to assist the aspirant for honours in the exhibition poultry world.If in any homestead two eggs are laid where one was laid before, my efforts Will be amply repaid. pi-ios.
