PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION 



MINOR changes and corrections have been made in the present 

 edition, and a chapter on Feeding Poultry, prepared by Prof. J. E. 

 Dougherty, of the University of California, has been incorporated, 

 in order that students and farmers may learn the main principles 

 of feeding this important class of livestock. It is believed that the 

 usefulness of the book will be further increased by the addition and 

 changes thus made in the text.
