Where other chicken breeders failed, Professor James Dryden in Oregon succeeded when "Lady MacDuff" laid 303 eggs in 365 days in 1912-1913. How did he do it? Through the methods described in this book, which can be divided into two parts: his successful breeding techniques and his simple yet effective management techniques. Poultry Breeding and Management, first published a century ago, was an immediate hit with farmers and breeders alike, and remained in print for nearly thirty years. It was the best, most popular, and most influential poultry book of its time, and remains well worth reading today. James Dryden (1863-1935) was Professor of Poultry Science at Oregon Agricultural College (now Oregon State University) and was the first to demonstrate that egg production can be in-creased through selective breeding. He is the only poultryman ever inducted into National Agricultural Hall of Fame. Poultry Breeding and Genetics is volume 6 of the Norton Creek Classics series.

Excerpt from Poultry Breeding and Management The remarkable development of poultry culture during the past two decades is one of the outstanding features of American agriculture. Twenty years ago the possibilities of poultry-keeping as an industry were scarcely dreamed of. While it does not yet receive the consideration it deserves - far from it - nevertheless it has made immense gains both in popular recognition and in production. This has been brought about by a better realization of the pro ductive value of the hen. The idea of fuss and feathers, long associated with the keeping of fowls, has gradually given way to the idea of a poultry industry whose first and only business, as an industry, is the production of eggs and meat.

Excerpt from Poultry and Eggs for Market and Export This pamphlet is intended as a handy guide for farmers and others in practical methods of poultry-keeping. It is only in recent years that much attention has been given in New Zealand to poultry-rearing on a large scale, and it is not always recognised that a good deal of know ledge, as well as industry, is required to insure success. It is the desire of the writer to supply this knowledge and prevent beginners from falling into the mistakes which are often made and from spending money unnecessarily. Since the work of instruction was undertaken by the Government there has been a great improvement in the class of poultry kept by farmers, in the methods practised, and in the production of table-poultry and eggs. There is room for much further improvement, and in this direction the officers of the Poultry Division of the Depart ment of Agriculture are always willing to assist with information and advice. The results will depend, as in all business undertakings, upon the skill, industry, and business capacity of those engaged in it. With good management poultry-keeping will give steady cash returns at an early period after embarking in the enterprise, and no other class of stock will give so much profit on the capital invested as poultry will. Poultry-keeping should go hand-in-hand with dairying, also with fruit growing and bee-culture. In addition to their direct profit, poultry are valuable on the farm in enriching the soil or restoring impoverished soil to a fertile condition; in the orchard they search for and devour insects of all kinds, and not a grub will escape them. Poultry-keeping is full of details: attend to these and success will follow. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Poultry Management Careful management of poultry is more necessary for suc cess than with many other classes of live stock. Lack Of good management in this business quickly and certainly results in loss. Infertility Of eggs results from poor management of the breeding stock. Loss in incubation and in raising young chicks soon follows any mismanagement. A low egg produc tion is sure to follow any fault in the feeding. To succeed with poultry, therefore, one must give them care and thoughtful attention and not leave them to manage and feed themselves. With the best of management and care, too much must not be expected Of poultry. DO not figure profits in advance. Bear in mind that the average figures run about as follows: In the spring months only about 90 per cent Of the eggs will be fer tile, at other times, less; 75 per cent may hatch strong chicks and perhaps 80 per cent Of these will live to a productive age. Such things as these must be remembered 111 estimating the cost Of production. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Poultry for Prizes: A Complete and Practical Guide to the Breeding and Management of All Varieties of Poultry for Exhibition Many books that are written on the subject of Fancy Poultry contain merely descriptions of the various breeds and leave the reader entirely in the dark with regard to the details of breeding for show points and the general management of exhibition stock 5 but I claim that no person who reads this book and acts upon the advice contained therein need fall into the errors that have proved fatal to so many beginners.

Excerpt from The Poultryman's Handbook: A Convenient Reference Book for All Persons Interested in the Production of Eggs and Poultry for Marketing and the Breeding of Standard-Bred, Poultry for Exhibition This handbook is intended as a book of reference for poultrymen generally. The publishers have not attempted to produce a condensed cyclopedia covering the broad field of poultry husbandry, but they have aimed to present to the public a handy reference book convenient to carry in the pocket - a pocketbook in reality - and containing such information as is most often needed by poultrymen who handle fowls commercially in large numbers, by persons who keep a few fowls in the back yard, and by breeders who aim to produce poultry of the best quality for exhibition. Although the treatment of some subjects is of necessity brief, it has been the aim so to distribute the space available that it would cover the more important subjects as fully as possible. The more important poultry foods are briefly described and discussed, and sample rations are given for the feeding of fowls, chicks, turkeys, guinea fowls, pheasants, ducks, geese, pigeons, etc. Much useful information in regard to incubation and brooding is given.
