How to Keep Hens for Profit 



By C. S. VALENTINE 



Cloth, illustrated, ISmo, $1.60 



"The Plymouth Rock, Java, Dominique, Wyandotte, Rhode Island 

 Red, and Buckeye breeds are discussed in the first few chapters. Con- 

 Biderable attention is given to other breeds later on. Eighteen beautiful 

 halt-tone engravings adorn the book. From the standpoint of the prac- 

 tical fanner and poultry-grower, we consider this book as one of the 

 very best of its kind. The author is evidently an experienced poultry- 

 man. It is a book that should be of special help to beginners in poultry, 

 while at the same time it contains much information for the expert."

The Beginner in Poultry 



By C. S. VALENTINE 

 DeeorateB Cloth, profusely illustrated, ISmo, $1.60 



It has been estimated that of the five million people who are raising 

 poultry in this country today half have gone at it blindly. And it ia 

 just as impossible to make a success of the poultry business without 

 preparation as it is impossible to succeed in any other business without 

 an acquaintance with the fundamentals. The difficulty which the 

 novice has experienced in going at the raising of chickens systematically 

 in the past has been that he could find no book in which the essentials — 

 only the essentials and all of them — of poultry-raising are given. To 

 write such a book has been Mr. Valentine's purpose. In "The Beginner 

 in Poultry" he discusses the different breeds of fowls, the tj^pes of houses, 

 feeding and the kinds of food, raising chickens for the market and for 

 their eggs, diseases and their cures and everything else which will be of 

 value for the one who is starting out — and much for the seasoned poul- 

 tiy-raiser as well.
