"Tills book is describeil by tlie autlior. and nut witliout sub^tautial gi-ouiul;>, 

 'A rractioal Poultry Book.' It is not a coniyilatiou, as so inaay books that 

 concern the a-griculturists are, but a work bearing traces in every jart of large 

 practical acquaintance with the subject.'' — Daily News. 



"Every page is rich in information and suggestion, lie has omitted the 

 discussion of no point, from the construction of the house and the purchase of 

 the stock to the appearance at table of the cooked product, whether egg or 

 chicken, Six chapters are devoted to ducks, geese, turkeys, guinea-fowls, 

 pheasants, and pigeons." — Glasgow Herald 



"ilr. Saunders has carefully studied the liabits, wants, ami health of the 

 poultry, and his advice on the subject is valuable both for its humanity and its 

 good sense." — Mvnihin Post. 



"We have as a duty, and still more as a matter of taste, read and studied 

 every fowl book and poultry guide published lor the la>t thirty years, and we do 

 not hesitate to say that this book of Mr. Saunders's is not only by far the best, 

 but worth any dozen of the best of them. Sir. Saunders not only knows what he 

 writes about, but he is able to make his readers understand as \\cll. Independent 

 of poultry altogether, the book is well worlli reading for the uifonnatiou it 

 coutaiui on food, digestion, hcrcditarj' intlueuces, and evolution." — jiantcm 

 Moiiilii'j News. 



" -Mr. Saunders is evidently a cultivated man of tlie world, and writes about 

 poultry in a way which shows that if he were so pleased he could discourse 

 profitalily on many other things as well. We believe that his book will be much 

 r, ad by bird-fanciers here and in our colonies. The fourth chapter, on food, is, 

 pel haps, the most useful in the book. The ^vhole volume shows that Mr. Saunders 

 has been a nu)st careful observer. Many facts he tells \Nill be useful to those 

 interested in science who have little leisure, ojiportunity, or taste for rearing 

 poultry." — The Academy.
