Book Description
Excerpt from Poultry Breeding and Management The remarkable development of poultry culture during the past two decades is one of the outstanding features of American agriculture. Twenty years ago the possibilities of poultry-keeping as an industry were scarcely dreamed of. While it does not yet receive the consideration it deserves - far from it - nevertheless it has made immense gains both in popular recognition and in production. This has been brought about by a better realization of the pro ductive value of the hen. The idea of fuss and feathers, long associated with the keeping of fowls, has gradually given way to the idea of a poultry industry whose first and only business, as an industry, is the production of eggs and meat.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Egg Farm: The Management of Poultry in Large Numbers Mr. H. H. Stoddard ranks among the first of our reliable and experienced writers on poultry literature. This volume consists of a series of practical papers from his pen upon egg raising and kindred topics. To the production of eggs on a large scale, Mr. Stoddard has evidently given close thought and attention. In these pages he provides for all difficulties, and is full of suggestions whereby labor may be saved and profits increased. Other chapters on hatching eggs by artificial heat, farm poultry houses, poultry farming, poultry keeping as a business, etc., etc., add to the size and value of the work - as originally published.

Book Description
This special re-print edition of H.H. Stoddard's book "An Egg Farm: The Management of Poultry in Large Numbers" is a primer on egg production in flocks of laying hens. Written in 1896 by one of the great 19th Century masters of poultry breeding, this classic text on poultry sheds light on the secrets of managing and improving egg production in flocks of laying chickens. Topics include Artificial Incubation and Brooding, The Arrangement of Breeding Stock, Management of Breeding Stock, Buildings, Management of Young Chickens, Feed Crops On The Farm, Feeding and Sheltering Chickens, Breeds for Layers, Breeds for Sitting Hens, Winter Management and much more. One of the best books of its kind, in our opinion. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.

Excerpt from Poultry for Prizes: A Complete and Practical Guide to the Breeding and Management of All Varieties of Poultry for Exhibition Many books that are written on the subject of Fancy Poultry contain merely descriptions of the various breeds and leave the reader entirely in the dark with regard to the details of breeding for show points and the general management of exhibition stock 5 but I claim that no person who reads this book and acts upon the advice contained therein need fall into the errors that have proved fatal to so many beginners.
