Profitable Poultry Keeping (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover

Excerpt from Profitable Poultry Keeping

I esteem it a privilege and a pleasure to introduce this excellent hand-book to all who are practically interested in keeping poultry. I would say to the veriest tyro, provided he had a modicum of common sense Here, take this book of Stephen Beale's, study it carefully in whatever it is applic able to your needs, and follow it. You will find it a safe guide, and you will almost surely come out well with your poultry the first year. Any old poultry-keeper may study it with profit, and if he finds some few passages to criticise, and opinions advanced with which he does not agree, let him con sider that no two parts of the country are subject to the same conditions of soil, climate and surroundings.

English current literature is far richer than ours in the results of experience in poultry matters, and the systems in vogue there and in France among the most successful poultry raisers are very much superior to general practice in this country, so that Mr. Beale's obvious familiarity with the best practice in those countries, in connection with his own large experience, is a very great advantage to the book.
