Excerpts:
Preface: This work is intended as a practical guide to those about to commence Poultry keeping, and to provide those who already have experience on the subject with the most trustworthy information compiled from the best authorities of all ages, and the most recent improvements in Poultry Breeding and Management. The Author believes that he has presented his readers with a greater amount of valuable information and practical directions on various points treated than will be found in most similar works.
Text: The "Henwife" says: "You may reduce your expenses by selling eggs for setting, at a remunerative price. No one should be ashamed to own what he is not ashamed to do; therefore, boldly announce your superfluous eggs for sale, at such a price as you think the public will pay for them.”
Piper’s “Poultry…” has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it. It was successfully incorporated into the breeding, raising, and cultivating a most important source of sustenance for the human race. This fine collection includes beautiful illustrations, in full color.
