PROFITABLE BREEDS OF POULTRY, by Arthur 
S. Wheeler. Mr. Wheeler discusses from personal experience 
the best-known general purpose breeds. Advice is given from the 
standpoint of the man who desires results in eggs and stock rather 
than in specimens for exhibition. In addition to a careful analysis 
of stock — good and bad — and some conclusions regarding housing 
and management, the author writes in detail regarding Plymouth 
Rocks, Wyandottes, Orpingtons, Rhode Island Reds, Mediterraneans 
and the Cornish.
