Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Manual on Poultry
One of the secrets of the success of French agriculture is the attention bestowed upon the small industries of the farm, and one of the principal obstacles to successful agriculture in the Southern States is the neglect of these industries. The dairy, garden, poultry yard, apiary, and fish ponds, should, not only contribute largely to the food supply of the family but should, by the sale of surplus products, materially supplement the princi pal sources of income of the farm.
The hope that the information conveyed in this little work may induce the bestowal of more and better attention upon the important industry of which it treats, and thus increase the health, pleasure, profit and comfort of the families of Georgia, induces its publication.
