" This volume is altogether trustworthy and well-informed as to details of 

 management hy which good tahle fowls may be reared and fattened. . . . 

 The most useful book on poultry that has appealed. , , , Likely to serve 

 as a text-book for generations." — Lioe Stock Jowrnal,

 the subject of Poultry." — Daily Graplnie. 



" The chapters on hatching, rearing, and breeding poultry for the market 

 can hardly be rivalled." — Athenceum. 



" A more practical book on the subject was never written ; it cannot be 

 too widely circulated in rural districts." — Academy. 



" Mr. Tegetmeier shows that for agricultural and economical purposes the 

 modern fancy breeds are useless. He considers that agricultural societies are 

 doing more harm than good by offering prizes for useless birds." — Zoologist. 



" Good as the first edition was, the second is greatly enhanced by the 

 additions. One of the best text-books on the subject that we have come 

 across." — Poultry. 



" Treats of the production of eggs and chickens purely as a matter of 

 business, in which English peasants and farmers are not very expert." — Pall 

 Jlfall Gazette. 



" A remarkably practical and sensible book. The chapter on the ' Fallacies 

 of Poultry Farming ' is a mast valuable one." — Morning Post. 

 " No better instruction can be offered." — Qa/rden. 

 " A valuable manual." — Scotsman.
