Product Description
by Walter Brett (Author)
This antique text comprises a pictorial guide to poultry keeping and gardening, as well as constituting a veritable encyclopedia of rabbit-keeping, goat-keeping and bee-keeping, pig-keeping, cow-keeping, and small holdings management. The volume provides a ready-reference guide to all the essentials of the small-scale farming trade. Much of the information contained herein is timeless, and will be of much value to both amateur and experienced modern readers. The chapters of this text include: 'The Purchase', 'Housing', 'Feeding and Management of Fowls, Ducks, Geese and Turkeys', 'Chick-hatching and Rearing', 'Treatment of Poultry Diseases', 'The Art of Culling', 'Table Poultry Production', 'How to Secure Maximum Egg Production' and much more. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly expensive and rare, and it is with this in mind that we are proudly republishing this book here in an affordable modern edition.
