NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
The work is very practical, all the illustrations and 
descriptions of building being of those of the plainest 
and cheapest construction, within the reach of any one 
who keeps a dozen fowls. The directions for manage¬ 
ment are plain, and evidently the result of the experience 
of the author.— Country Gentleman, Albany. 
Everything pertaining to the production of eggs and 
the breeding and raising of poultry is here given, and no 
difficulty to be avoided or point in which labor may be 
saved, seems to be unprovided for.— The Salem Gazette, 
Salem, Mass. 
This is a handsomely illustrated little work on the 
management of poultry in large numbers. It will no 
doubt be a valuable addition to our poultry literature.— 
Colman's Rural World, St. Louis. 
It contains a vast amount of information in a little 
Fpacc in regard to the management of poultry in large 
numbers. It contains about 100 pages, and is nicely il¬ 
lustrated with plans of buildings, implements, breeds of 
fowls, etc., etc .— Ohio Farmed', Cleveland. 
It gives a full and instructive account of the manage¬ 
ment of poultry in large numbers, with plenty of excel¬ 
lent illustrations.— Christian Register , Boston. 
It gives in a clear and comprehensive manner the best 
plans for breeding stock and management of young 
chickens, with cuts of the most economical houses, and 
showing fanciers how to make the business a profitable 
one.— Stoneham Sentinel, Stoneham, Mass. 
Tlie Poultry Yard and Market; 
OB, 
A Practical Treatise on Gallinocnltjre. 
By Prof. A. Corbett, 
Inventor of the New Process for Hatching Eggs and Raising 
Poultry, by means of Horse Manure alone, for which Gold 
nnd Bronze Medals, and several Diplomas, have been award¬ 
ed by State and County Fairs, and the American Institute. 
Leading newspapers endorsed tlie valuable discovery of this 
simple process, which Is fully described in tiiis book, giving 
the valuable information acquired by 20 years’ experience 
In Poultry Breeding. 
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 
Prof. Corbett has been very successful. We saw the proof 
of Ills success. The result of Prof. Corbett’s investigations 
nnd experience has been compiled into a book entitled: 
“ The Poultry-Yard and Market,” which Is published by the 
Orange Judd Co., and sold for fifty cents.— American Agri¬ 
culturist, July, 1S76. 
It is replete with minute explanations wliich cannot fail to 
be of great service to farmers and breeders.— New York 
Weekly Herald, September 30th, 1876. 
Mr. Corbett’s invention is alike valuable to the housewife 
of moderate means, passing her leisure moments in the 
poultry yard, as to the breeder on a large scale who seeks 
to supply great city markets with eggs and chickens.— New 
York Weekly Tribune, September 15th, 1875.
