Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Suburban Poultry-Keepin: A Manual for the "Backyarder" And Other Amateurs Poultry-keeping is a cosmopolitan industry. It can be carried on upon a general farm, upon a poultry farm, in a paddock, in a garden or in a backyard, in both town and country. Similarly, there are all sorts and conditions of poultry-keepers, but by far the largest class is what we might describe as the suburban amateur, who keeps a few fowls in his garden or back yard, sometimes solely to produce eggs for his own table, but more often to make what profit he can out of them. For let it be understood that poultry-keeping is not a hobby, but a business-the one particular branch of the agricultural industry that can be carried on just as successfully in a garden run as on a large farm.

Download or read book The Poultry Manual written by Franklane L. Sewell and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poultry Manual: A Guide to Successful Poultry Keeping in All Its Branches, Fancy and Practical This breed originated as the Barred Rock in New England and the best authorities give the honor of its production to a Mr. Spalding of Connecticut and claim that it was produced from a cross of a Dominique colored male and Black Cochin hens. Good authorities also claim that the Black Java was used in its production and there are many reasons to believe that that is true. They were first shown at Worcester, Mass., in 1869, by Mr. D. A. Upham, of Connecticut, and were then called Improved Plymouth Rocks. The name Barred was not given them until later. The early Plymouth Rocks were by no means free from feathers on their shanks or from white in their ear lobes, according to the testimony of the veteran I. K. Felch. At that time, which was before the advent of the Wyandottes, the Plymouth Rocks had the field clear as the general purpose breed. The conformation of the breed is such as would naturally be selected for a fowl intended to produce plenty of poultry meat and lay abundantly of eggs. This fact, together with their clean shanks and robust constitutions, gained them the title of the "farmers' fowl" and also the wide popularity that they attained in a comparatively short time. The comparatively heavy, though close-lying plumage and comparatively small combs, adapt them particularly to cold climates. The plumage of the Barred Rock, as it came to be called, is extremely difficult to breed and to produce exhibition color in both male and female it is necessary to resort to two matings. To produce the cockerel for the show room, an exhibition colored male is penned with females which are too dark for exhibition purposes but which have been produced from a mating of the same kind. Exactly the reverse of this is the method of producing exhibition females. The winners of the present at the larger shows are remarkably well barred from the tips of the feathers to the hide, and the best of them show that desirable ringy effect on the outside which adds to their attractiveness.

Download or read book Poultry Keeping as an Industry for Farmers and Cottagers Classic Reprint written by Edward Brown and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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
