Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poultry Keeping as an Industry for Farmers and Cottagers Poultry keeping is a pursuit which recommends itself very strongly indeed to the small farmer and cottager, in that the outlay of capital required is very little in deed, and the returns are quickly arrived at. Chickens bred for the table can be marketed within a few weeks those intended as layers will commence operations by the time they are five months old. Only in one or two other branches of farming can the same rapid return be secured. There need be no outlay for rent, and, except upon large farms, where a special poultry woman is kept, wages do not enter into consideration. It is, in fact, one of those pursuits which can be engrafted upon the regular operations with very little additional outlay But there is a further benefit to be derived. F owls play an important part in cleaning and enriching land upon which they are kept, and in the following chapters evidences of this are given. If the example shown by vine growers in France were followed, and every fruit grower maintained a flock of poultry, large or small according to his occupation, his profits would be added to considerably, his land would be cleaned by the fowls, their manure would improve his creps, and their produce would be a welcome addition to his income. We are strongly of Opinion that every fruit grower should also be a poultry keeper. The same applies to dairy farms. In Devon and Cornwall nearly every dairy farmer keeps poultry, and in his contracts bar gains for delivering so much butter and so many eggs. As a rule he declines to sell'one without the other. Milk or butter and eggs are bought together, and ought to be produced on the same place, and equal care should be taken to market one as fresh as the other. The dairy farmer has a great advantage in that his connections enable him to find a sure and constant outlet for his eggs, with a minimum of trouble. Whilst to some extent attention has been paid to improvement of breeds, and just as we are going to press an announcement is made that the Congested Districts Board of Ireland has granted 100 and the Royal Dublin Society 50 for the purchase of stock birds to be distributed in the West of Ireland, the equally important details as to preparation of and mar keting poultry, and the collection, sorting, packing and marketing of eggs, have, as a rule, been dealt with in a most haphazard fashion. It is true that in Sussex, in Buckinghamshire, and Norfolk, so far as poultry are concerned, the trade is conducted on systematic lines. In these counties may be found examples of what can be done by method and enterprise, examples which ought to stimulate the efforts of breeders and dealers in all parts of the country. But in Britain we cannot point to any district where a system of collecting and marketing eggs has been adopted at all approaching that met with in France and other continental coun tries, except in Devon and Cornwall. Last spring we made an enquiry into this question in Yorkshire, and learnt that, with a practically unlimited demand on the one side, and a specially favourable district for poultry keeping on the other, the York and Malton districts are dependent on foreign supplies during a large por tion of the year. A trader in York informed us that he sells about eggs per week, but, excepting the first three or four months of each year, he has to obtain Irish, French and Danish eggs to supply his needs. What is true there applies to many other sec tions of the country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Poultry Breeder and Feeder: Or How to Make Poultry Pay The first paper which was published for the guidance of the infinitesimal percentage of the population who took even a slight interest in fowls appeared twenty-four years ago, and it was in'that paper that the first newspaper work of the late William Cook - who wrote the leading articles for it for a period of thirteen years - was published. Seeing the need after three years, on account of the great awakening of land owners to the possibilities of poultry-keeping for farmers and cottagers as an industry and for themselves as an interesting hobby, The Poultry Journal was published, and in the twenty-one years during which it has made its monthly appearance, many thousands have succumbed to the poultry mania and become enthusiastic readers of the advice there circulated, and it has been admitted by all that the res'ults obtained have been largely composed of pleasure and profit. That the number of poultry-keepers is increasing rapidly we have daily proof, and when we see the various articles dealing with the subject of fowl-keeping in social and art journals, in addition to those papers the object of whose proprietors is to reach the agricultural community, we realise the im portance of the interests now allied to the domestic fowl. This industry, which is manifestly important gives pleasur able occupation to those in all walks of life, and we are thankful that our publications have stood the test of the progress of time; and, in spite of the appearance of many similar works, the demand for them has proceeded apace, so that the necessity for this new edition has arisen long before we anticipated its publication.

This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Utility Poultry Farming These notes, of necessity somewhat fragmentary, have been written to encourage people in the National importance of Utility Poultry Keeping, and to indicate the way how poultry may be kept as a business, and at the same time made an interesting hobby. My wife started her farm first of all to help her country, by producing food for the community; secondly, to show the farmers and our neighbours what could be done with poultry if worked on scientific and business lines; and thirdly, not being able to leave home to undertake war work at a distance, she thought as we lived in the country, and having been devoted to poultry all her life, it was the right thing to do. Further, she has the advantage in having an experienced poultry-man. The farm is one of 10 acres, and I have no hesitation in saying that the results, so far, have amply justified the expenditure of capital made, and that Commercial Poultry Farming, when carefully conducted as a business, is not only of daily increasing interest, but a sound commercial investment, the return more than compensating for the time and labour expended upon it. The Poultry Farmer will, naturally, as in other business undertakings, have difficulties to face from time to time. Let his or her motto be "Nil desperandum," and further, remember, that by supplying a much-needed and useful article of food, this is certainly helping to counteract the foreign importation of eggs, and keeping money in circulation at borne.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poultry and Eggs for Market and Export This pamphlet is intended as a handy guide for farmers and others in practical methods of poultry-keeping. It is only in recent years that much attention has been given in New Zealand to poultry-rearing on a large scale, and it is not always recognised that a good deal of know ledge, as well as industry, is required to insure success. It is the desire of the writer to supply this knowledge and prevent beginners from falling into the mistakes which are often made and from spending money unnecessarily. Since the work of instruction was undertaken by the Government there has been a great improvement in the class of poultry kept by farmers, in the methods practised, and in the production of table-poultry and eggs. There is room for much further improvement, and in this direction the officers of the Poultry Division of the Depart ment of Agriculture are always willing to assist with information and advice. The results will depend, as in all business undertakings, upon the skill, industry, and business capacity of those engaged in it. With good management poultry-keeping will give steady cash returns at an early period after embarking in the enterprise, and no other class of stock will give so much profit on the capital invested as poultry will. Poultry-keeping should go hand-in-hand with dairying, also with fruit growing and bee-culture. In addition to their direct profit, poultry are valuable on the farm in enriching the soil or restoring impoverished soil to a fertile condition; in the orchard they search for and devour insects of all kinds, and not a grub will escape them. Poultry-keeping is full of details: attend to these and success will follow. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Winter Eggs: A Handbook on Utility Poultry Keeping, Embodying the American Intensive Methods, With Complete Index There can be no two opinions as to the desirability of largely developing the poultry industry in this country, and the reform of the Irish egg trade shows what can be done by adopting a rational system of collection and marketing. But this little book deals with another aspect of the case, giving full details of the American intensive system of poultry rearing, which is now on its trial in this country, in the h0pe that it may lead to a large increase in production. It seems to be generally agreed that - apart from the production of pedigree 'stock and the taking of pupils - poultry farming on the ordinary English lines does not pay when considerable sums have to be expended on food, and a large area devoted to its practice. It is of course a most valuable accessory industry, regarded as a means of utilising certain forms of waste, and is sufficiently remunerative on a small scale. The American system enables an enormous reduction to be made in the space required, and claims to reduce the cost of production so that satisfactory profits can be made even when large quantities of food have to be bought. The author has made a careful theoretical and practical study of the subject, and the numerous poultry-keepers who desire to test the intensive system will find this book a thoroughly practical guide. But even if American methods are proved to be suitable for Britain, success in their application cannot'be expected without co-n stant supervision, and strict attention to detail. J R.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Races of Domestic Poultry My own study of poultry-breeding has now extended over a period of more than thirty years. During that time the progress made has been phenomenal, not merely in the development of commercial poultry-breeding, as indicated in the companion volume, poultry-keeping as an Industry for Farmers and Cottagers, ' but also in respect to the number of breeds at our disposal. At the commencement of the period named, the Langshan and the Leghorn, the Plymouth Rock and the Wyandotte, the Cam pine and the Orpington, the Ancona and the Indian Game, the Maline and the Faverolles, amongst fowls, the Pekin and Indian Runner ducks, and the American Bronze turkey, not to mention many others, were entirely or practically unknown to the greater number of British breeders, and it is difficult to imagine what would be the position of affairs were these races swept out of existence. It is not too much to say that they have contributed enormously to the success attained, and that they have done more, directly and indirectly, than all the older breeds to make profitable modern develop ments. In the first edition of the work already referred to announcement was made that it was my inten tion to write a work dealing with the different races of poultry, but that promise has not been fulfilled until now. One reason was that on approaching the subject it was found there was a large number of breeds existent of which little was known, even in the countries to which they were indigenous, and respecting which information was unavailable. Consequently, I determined, as opportunity offered, to visit these countries, to examine the birds where they were common, in order to personally see them, learn their characters and qualities, and thus be able to form a judgment as to their values. During the last few years, in fulfilment Of this Object, I have visited France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Den mark, Russia, Austria, Hungary, the Balkan States, Italy, and Spain, and the results of these tours.
