NOTICES BY THIS PRESS. 
This hook is a valuable manual for everybody who 
(beds chickens or sells eggs. It suits at once the plain 
poulterer who mnst make the business pay. and the chick* 
en fancier whose taste is for gay plumage, and strange, 
blight 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 the good and bad points of the dif¬ 
ferent breeds, and a brief sketch of such fancy stock as 
peafowl, pheasants, and water-fowl. Then follows a 
section on artificial batching, and another, worth special 
attention, on 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 doth. Few York Tribune.

eminently practical, and we recommend it to farmers and 
ethers interested In breeding and selling poultry.

guide in all the practical details of poultry management 
as a profitable business. United IVesbyterian.
