Profitable Poultry Farming (Classic Reprint)

It is customary, in writing a book, to have a preface, and that is my only excuse for giving one here. I have written this work for the purpose of assisting the novice who has taken on the hen fever, and would like practical advice with the enthusiasm left off. If I succeed in my mission I am satisfied. It is my intention to show how money can be made on small farms, and the advantage of making poultry an adjunct to some other occupation. I give a number of experiences and plans, and let the reader do the selecting. To more properly conduct the work, I have visited large duck farms on Long I sland, and prominent poultry establishments in different parts of the country; so that the instructions as given in the book are those from my own personal experience, coupled with what I have seen in my rounds. In short, I have endeavored from beginning to end to give the reader a complete guide, and in this particular it will be seen that the well filled advertising pages are not the least important to the work. Hoping that I have not labored in vain, I beg leave to remain, THE AUTHOR. Hammonton, N. J., May, 1893. PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION. The sale of the first edition has been simply wonderful; and I believe that much benefit has come out of it for the novice. There are a number of valuable changes in this edition, but practically the work is the same. THE AUTHOR. Natick, Mass, Jan. i, 1896.
