This early work is a fascinating read for any poultry keeper or historian of the breed. Originally written as an effort to stimulate farmers' interest in hens, it is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the smallholder's bookshelf. Contents Include: Preface, Introduction, Branches of the Poultry Industry, Poultry Health, The Simplest Farm Unit, Poultry as Soil Fertility Raisers, Large-Scale Farm Flocks, Hens on the Arable Farm, Poultry on Grass Farms, Commercial Breeding on the Farm, Adult Bird Management on the Land, Providing Annual Replacements (Rearing), Table Bird Production, and Turkeys, Egg and Table Ducks, Geese. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
