Publisher's Synopsis
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.
