Excerpt from The A-B-C of Breeding Poultry: For Exhibition, Egg Production Table Purposes For a long time now I have thought that there was an urgent need for a text book on the breeding of poultry, which has resulted in my placing the present handbook before the poultry public. Possibly I have not covered all the necessary ground, but this would mean a very great undertaking, as so much depends on environment and the extent of each individual concern. I trust, however, that after carefully reading the work through, the reader will be able to map out his plan of campaign according to the circumstances under which his hobby or business is being run. In the matter of heavy egg-production I am convinced that more depends upon such problems as breeding, management, strain and feeding than on the "breed" selected. I have endeavoured in the following pages to deal with the numerous subjects of breeding in short, pithy paragraphs, giving the latter general catch-lines and grouping them into sections. This arrangement, I trust, will enable the reader to refer to any subject with the minimum of trouble. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
