Excerpt from Commercial Poultry Raising: A Thoroughly Practical and Complete Reference Work for the Amateur, Fancier or General Farmer, Especially Adapted to the Commercial PoultrymanIn the chapters that follow the author has no hobbies to ride, no theories to advance, nothing to offer, in fact, except the prac tical information which he has acquired from many years of actual experience raising fowls on a commercial scale, and from the associations of other poultrymen with whom he has come in contact in a business or friendly way. His effort has been to give facts and state principles clearly, so as to establish a solid foundation for the study of poultry culture. The real study, of course, commences with the actual work with the fowls, and cannot be acquired from the printed page alone.No phase of agriculture or animal husbandry has made such enormous progress in the past thirty years as poultry culture. Consequently, literature written on this subject a quarter of a century ago, or even a decade ago, is now mostly obsolete. Not that fowls have changed their habits to such an extent, but because we have learned more about their habits, and how to derive the greatest benefits from them at the least possible cost.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
