Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Poultry Yard, How to Furnish and Manage It: A Treatise for the Amateur Poultry Breeder and Farmer, on the Management of Poultry and the Merits of the Different Breeds
The favorable reception of The Pigeon Loft, How to Furnish and Manage It, published May, 1875, and the large demand for it, together with numerous inquiries, have induced us to prepare the present treatise on Poultry, in the same form and at the same price. We lay no claims to entire originality in this work. All breeders meet with much the same experience, and it has been our aim to compile from all reliable sources a concise treatise, at a low price, giving instructions to beginners. We have not attempted an elaborate description of the breeds of poultry, only endeavoring to state their respective merits and demerits, and thus enable every amateur to answer for himself the of't repeated question, which breed pays the best. We would express our indebtedness for valuable hints, especially to The Poultry World and Wright's Illustrated Book of Poultry.
