APPENDIX 



If any are disappointed because we have left the details of success with 

 poultry to be worked out in practice, we suggest that in this business, knowledge 

 should be gathered from many sources the best poultry journals, the special 

 articles in the best magazines, and the booklets issued by incubator manufac- 

 turers and the manufacturers of poultry food, several of whom conduct large 

 poultry farms of their own, and put what they have learned at the service of the 

 beginner without cost. We suggest especially that much dependence be placed 

 upon the literature issued by experiment stations of various States and by the 

 Department of Agriculture. Much of this is free, in some instances a slight charge 

 is made, but it is a vital type of literature and the poultry grower cannot afford to 

 be ignorant of what experts in this industry, are doing and saying. 



We append a list which will be of service.
