Excerpt from Practical Poultry Keeping: As I Understand It The successful farmer or fancier of to-day is the one who accepts the fact that stock perfectly acceptable ten years ago, is not acceptable to-day. The demand for something better comes every year. Especially is this the case in regard to poultry. For this reason many are now keeping good fowls carefully bred, and selling at high prices. The call for better stock, and for information as to what is good stock, and the best mode of handling, comes from all sections. The prices of books treating of poultry are too high for the generality of people. A book is wanted which every one who keeps a dozen fowls can afford to buy, and at the same time which gives all the information desired concerning the different varieties of fowls, and how best to handle them. That book should contain all that is really valuable to the fancier who keeps fowls for pleasure, and the farmer who keeps fowls for profit. It should be plain, practical and simple. It should blow no horn in the interest of any class of men, or breed of fowls, and advertise no patent medicines, but be a plain and truthful talk between writer and reader. In answer to this demand, as far as in me lies, I offer this little book: all of which is respectfully submitted to the reader.
