Success With Poultry in California (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Success With Poultry in California

This publication is not a primer. It is a radical departure from the conventional books of advice about keeping poultry, and seeks to get down to the roots of the industry. It assumes that a knowledge of the fundamental ideas developed by the progress of this industry is the gateway to success, and that to know the reasons and laws which determine the management of fowls under the artificial conditions in which they must be kept for profit, is more important than rules and stereotyped directions. Details of management can be found elsewhere: these pages have to do with the vital principles which underlie successful management.

Little is said about profits in the business, but the conditions of profit are strongly emphasized. Any one can keep poultry, but if poultry raising is to keep the owner of the flock, he must not only know how to manage, but why this or that is essential.

No attempts are made to "boost" the industry: the aim is to make it profitable.
