Opinions of the Press. 



Yorkshire Herald, Feb. 19. 

 A useful guide to farmers who want to make a profit out of poultry. . . . Mr. 

 Tegetmeier strongly deprecates poultry farms ; he shows that all such : ttempts must 

 be unremunerative, though it should be easy on every farm, at scarcely any appreci- 

 able cost, to keep a considerable stock of poultry and raise eggs and rear chickens in 

 paying quantities for the market. 



The Scotsman, Feb. 15. 

 A valuable manual for those who cultivate poultry. ... A practical handbook 

 of all the details of the mdustry, written from long experience of breeding poultry. 

 . . . Contains a number of illustrations which add considerably to its value. 



Devon Gazette, Feb. 13. 

 Coming from one so well able to judge, and whose authority cannot well be 

 questioned, his remarks will receive all the weight they deserve. Th"e author's object 

 is to increase the quality of marketable poultry. He is anxious to point out that 

 poultry shows, as ordinarily conducted, have no connection with the breeding of 

 market poultry. . . . Unquestionably the work is one to be carefully read by all 

 who make poultry keeping a means of living. Every class of fowl is considered, 

 and the instructions given are the outcome of practical observation. There is 

 little doubt the book will be in popular demand. 



Norwich Argus, Feb. 10. 

 Mr. Tegetmeier's book must be noted the most trustworthy that has ever been 

 published. He treats of the rearing for the table and market, speaks scornfully of 

 fancy fowls, and exposes the fallacies of < oultry farming in trenchant language. 

 . . . Illustrated with pictures of beautiful ancient and distorted modern birds, 

 among the former Bewick's true barn-door fowl, which is still without a rival. . . . 

 A work that .must serve as a text-book. 



Essex County Chronicle, Feb. 19. 

 For those who keep poultry for profit the book will be of the greatest value. 



Kilburn Times, Feb. 12. 

 The keeping of fowls in small runs is ably dealt with, and the precautions 

 necessary to ensure success are distinctly laid down. 



The Kent Herald, March 3. 

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

 of Poultry Farming " is a most valuable one, and should deter anyone endowed with 

 an ordinary amount of sense from embarking on the enterprize. 



The Publishers' Circular, Feb. 27. 

 This thoroughly practical little volume will be found of extreme interest to all 

 who are concerned in the rearing of fowls. 



Bath Chronicle, Feb. 18. 

 The handiest and most complete, and, we will add, the most sensible, practical, 

 and authoritative treatise on the subject that has been published. 



Somerset County Gazette, Feb. 20. 

 Well illustrated, and written in a very lucid style. 



Kendal Mercury, Feb. 19. 

 It has another excellence — that of cheapness — for what cannot fail to be the 

 authoritative handbook on economic poultry keeping may be had at the expense of 

 half a crown.
