“The Plymouth Rock, Java, Dominique, Wyandotte, Rhode Island 
Red, and Buckeye breeds are discussed in the first few chapters. Con- 
siderable attention is given to other breeds later on. Eighteen beautiful 
half-tone engravings adorn the book. From the standpoint of the prac- 
tical farmer 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

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 is 
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 types 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 fer the one who is starting out—and much for the seasoned poul- 
try-raiser as well.
