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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Farm Poultry Poultry Keeping Suited to ail - Poultry keeping is one of the most valuable industries carried on in connection with every well-con ducted farm or rural home. The money-making possibilities of poultry farms may be in doubt, but hens can be made pay on even the poorest farm in the Province. Probably no class of live stock is so widely scattered and universally reared. From the warmest regions of the tropics to the cold, bleak regions of the Yukon, man demands eggs as one Of the staple articles necessary to sustain life. Fresh eggs are pre ferred, therefore the hen has been introduced, and poultry has become adapted and acclimatized to all regions inhabited by civilized man. The flesh of fowls is delicious and nutritious; and eggs, one of the most per fect of human foods, are being used more and more. In former times poultry keeping was, and in many places is yet, a side issue, a mere incident to general farming, its responsibilities and cares falling on the overworked housewife or some of the very small chil dren. The fowls gathered their own subsistence, stole their nests, brought forth a few chickens, which lived or died according to conditions. The poultry was compelled to roost in the trees, on the fences, or perchance in the barn. About the only care given was to occasionally throw them a little food.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poultry Breeding and Management The remarkable development of poultry culture during the past two decades is one of the outstanding features of American agriculture. Twenty years ago the possibilities of poultry-keeping as an industry were scarcely dreamed of. While it does not yet receive the consideration it deserves - far from it - nevertheless it has made immense gains both in popular recognition and in production. This has been brought about by a better realization of the pro ductive value of the hen. The idea of fuss and feathers, long associated with the keeping of fowls, has gradually given way to the idea of a poultry industry whose first and only business, as an industry, is the production of eggs and meat.

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 hope 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 con stant supervision, and strict attention to detail. J R.
