THE PRACTICAL 
POULTRY KEEPER. 
A COMPLETE AND STANDARD GUIDE TO THE 
MANAGEMENT OF POULTRY, 
FOR DOMESTIC USE, THE MARKETS, OR 
EXHIBITION. 
Beautifully Illustrated. 
By L. WRIGHT. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
This hook is a valuable manual for everybody who 
feeds chickens or sells eggs. It suits at once the plain 
poulterer who must make tho business pay, and the chick¬ 
en fancier whose tasto 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, byusing 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 the good and bad points of tho dif¬ 
ferent breeds, and a brief sketch of such fancy stock as 
peafowl, pheasants, and water-fowl. Then follows a 
section on artificial hatching, and another, worth special 
attention, on large poultry yards — A study of Mr. 
Wright’s hook 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, hut tho family supplies of sugar, 
shoes, and cloth. New York Tribune. 
It is the most complete and valuable work on tho mat¬ 
ters of which it treats yet published. It will he 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 hook is 
eminently practical, and we recommend it to farmers and 
others interested in broeding 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 he 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 largo sale 
among the growing class of poultry fanciers. It is em¬ 
bellished with numerous illustrative engravings.
