Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Farming for Pleasure and Profit: Poultry-Keeping
The extreme pugnacity of the Ruff, and their great diversity of colours, has also been mentioned by other authors. The old Roman writers upon agri culture, as Cato and Columella, give directions for the fattening of wild birds, as well as for pigeons and domestic fowls; which at one time must have been comparatively an extensive business in the luxurious days of the Roman empire.
