NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
This book is a valuable manual for everybody who 
feeds chickens or sells eggs. It suits at once the plain 
poulterer who must make the business pay, and the chick- 
en fancier whose taste is for gay plumage, and strange, 
bright birds. The most valuable portion is the first sec- 
tion, extending through fifty-five pages. These were writ- 
ten with the intention of producing a manual so plain, 
minute, and practical, that anyone could, by using it as a 
guide, with no previous experience with poultry, become 
at once successful in producing eggs, young chickens, and 
fat fowls for market. The author has not missed his aim. 
The middle parts of Mr. Wright's Manual are taken up 
with minute directions for making show fowls for Fairs, 
a nice discussion of tho good and bad points o! tho dif- 
ferent breeds, and a brief sketch of such fancy stock as 
peafowl, pheasants, and water-fowl. Theu follows a 
section on artificial hatching, aud another, worth special 
attention, ou large poultry yards A study of Mr. 
Wright's book will convince any farmer's wife that all 
she needs is to give a half hour each day, of intelligent 
and sagacious attention to her poultry, in order to obtain 
from them, not tape, and knitting needles, and buttons, 
and nutmegs merely, but the family supplies of sugar, 
shoes, and cloth. New York Tribune. 
It is the most complete and valuable work on the mat- 
ters of which it treats yet published. It will be found a 
plain and sufficient guide to any one in any circumstances 
likely to occur, and is illustrated with elegant engravings 
of many breeds of fowls. Farmers'' Cabinet. 
This is a reprint, with numerous wood engravings, of 
an English book, the object of which is to convey in 
plain language a great deal of practical information about 
the breeding and management of poultry, whether for 
domestic use, the markets, or exhibition — The book is 
eminently practical, and we recommend it to farmers and 
others interested in breeding and selling poultry. 
Philadelphia Press. 
It is a handsome volume, brought out in the best style, 
and enriched with nearly fifty illustrations. It is evidently 
the fruit of a thorough, practical experience and knowl- 
edge of fowls, and will be found a plain and sufficient 
guide in all the practical details of poultry management 
as a profitable business. United Presbyterian. 
The subject is treated fully and ably by an experienced 
hand, and the volume will doubtless find a large sale 
among the growing class of poultry fanciers. It is cm* 
belHshcd with numerous illustrative engravings. 
New York Observer. 
The author has called to his aid all who were expen 
enccd in the subject whereof he writes, nnd the conse- 
quence is a volume of more than ordinary thoroughness 
and exhaustiveness. BocJiester Democrat. 
The book is a complete and standard guide to the man- 
agement of poulVf for domestic use, the market, aud 
for exhibition. Watchman and Itefector.
