Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Profitable Breeds of Poultry In six of the following chapters, I have tried to describe briefly some of the profit able breeds; to give a little information about their histories; and to show what may be ex pected from each of them. With regard to the historical side, the truth is that there is no breed, and only an occasional variety, of which the origin is not in dispute. I have given the versions which strike me as most logical, with such comments as seemed to come within the province of a handbook. The reader who desires lengthy argument must seek it in books written by specialists. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Profits in Poultry: Useful and Ornamental Breeds and Their Profitable Management; Profusely Illustrated As denoted by the title of the book, the editors have given most prominence to the side of poultry keeping which returns an income. The ways and means by which eggs or poultry can be grown at a profit are discussed in great detail. So many questions are constantly asked about the various breeds and also concerning diseases and their treatment, that these topics have been quite fully considered. The turkey department has been made as complete as possible on account of the increasing interest in that branch of poultry keeping. Incubators, care of chicks, feeding and care for eggs, or for meat, building coops and houses, caponizing, marketing, warfare against pests, raising waterfowl and ornamental poultry, are described at length. The reference matter and tables are a special feature of the, book. The present volume is nearly one-third larger than any previous edition. Experience of breeders and poultry farmers has been drawn upon freely, resulting in that breadth of view which can be obtained only by comparison of successful methods in actual practice. Among those who have directly assisted in furnishing the new matter are James Rankin, P. H. Jacobs, T. M. Ferris, M. C. Weld, Burr Knapp and W. H. Rudd. The entire material has been carefully prepared by Mr. George B. Fiske, poultry editor American Agriculturist. About 100 pages and many illustrations have been added to the new and enlarged edition, but without any increase in the price of this useful book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poultry for Pleasure and Profit The great question is as to the breed to select. For all purposes, whether it be to bring pleasure or to produce profit, there is no variety which equals the White Plymouth Rocks. This is true not because it is set down here as the dictum of one lover of poultry, but because more people who are seeking profit and pleasure in poultry breed ing - pure - bred poultry - are coming to breed White Plymouth Rocks than are taking up any other breed. This is proved by the re ports of the shows, by inspecting market stands or by driving through any parts of the country and noting the varieties of fo'wls kept.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mating and Breeding of Poultry To the man or woman who desires some occupation or activity for a few spare hours as a relief from the fatigue, the strain and the routine of the regular day's work, poultry breeding, whether for the production of exhibition stock or of stock with heavy egg producing ability, is ideal. An intimate understanding of the laws or principles of breeding as well as of their application is necessary for success and poultry breeding is therefore an occupation which demands deep and discriminating thought and whose complex problems are at once a challenge and a stimulation to the intelligence of the breeder as well as being of absorbing interest. Moreover, the poultry breeder finds opportunity for the expression of his artistic instincts in molding the form or shape of the birds and the color or combination of colors to meet his ideal. In addition, there is the gratification of the sporting instinct, the pleasurable excitement of competition in exhibiting the choicest specimens at the shows and the satisfaction which comes from a win in the realization that the breeder has surpassed the efforts of his competitors and produced birds superior to theirs. Let no one to whom poultry breeding appeals hesitate to engage in it on the ground that he has not the room or facilities to enable him to compete with others more favorably situated. With only a back yard or village lot, and with the crudest equipment, it is possible to produce fowls of the highest excellence. Many winning birds in the leading exhibitions are produced by men and women who breed on a very limited scale without farms available for their poultry operations.

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.

Download or read book Poultry for Profit Classic Reprint written by P. H. Jacobs and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poultry for Profit We must make every dollar go as far as possible, and while constructing cheap buildings, they must be dry, warm and light. The first consideration is how to get the greatest surface space for the least outlay. We present, therefore, Fig. 1, which, while it may not be exactly according to the most approved style, has some advantages that are very important, and conveys some very good ideas. The house is 10x10, with three greenhouse sashes facing the south. Each sash is three feet wide and six feet long, and they cost, usually, about three dollars each. Now, while we have ten feet each way, in the house proper, making 100 square feet, we also have the room under the sashes, which is 4x10, or 40 square feet, the entire surface being 140 square feet, or equivalent to a house 10x14 feet, while the roof is built over a surface of 10x10 feet only, the glass serving in the capacity of a roof to the extended portion, and is also so inclined as to allow the heat and light of the sun to pass in to a distance under the main section, as well as directly down upon the four feet extending forward. The cost of the glass is partly saved by the shingles that would be necessary for covering a roof 10x14 feet instead of 10x10 feet, as it may be observed glass would be necessary, also, for a house 10x14 feet. Before building the house, or fixing upon the size, first determine how the fowls are to be kept. We would suggest that instead of adopting the above size, we would build a house 8x16 feet, so as to best utilize 16-feet boards, with two sections to the house, making each section 8x8 feet, and with a cock and ten hens to a section, which is two cocks and twenty hens to a house 8x16 feet. Instead of three sashes, there need be only two, one to each section, which gives the room on the floor, however, for each section 8x12 feet (instead of 8x8 feet). The reason for so doing is that in the winter, when the weather may be severe at times, the hens may be kept in doors, and have plenty of room, as that portion under the sash will be as serviceable as that under the main portion. In Fig. 2 we show how a single sash may be arranged, and also how a still cheaper house may be constructed. Fig. 1, alluded to, is five feet from the eaves to the ground, the peak being eight feet from the ground. Fig. 2 should be made 10x10 feet, the peak being seven feet from the ground. At the bottom is a board one foot high, though it may be two feet if preferred. The door is at the right, and ample room may be had inside for those who may have to enter to collect eggs or clean the house.
