Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Egg and Poultry Raising at Home
We know this is not possible in every instance, but surely in seven cases out of ten there is no reason why the householder, and even the cottager, who has a few spare yards of ground should not keep a few fowls for his own domestic purposes P Fowls are so amenable to the will of man that they can comfortably accommodate themselves under all circumstances, and the opportunity they offer should be grasped by many thousands of householders.
Let us take an example from the French cottagers, who in many parts almost subsist on the few fowls they keep. They are a nation of poultry-keepers, and have looked upon the subject from a practical and an economic standpoint. Consequently their supply of eggs is largely in excess of the demand, and the surplus is sent over to England to take the place of what we will not produce, but might very easily, if we were less conservative in our ideas.
