Excerpt from Profitable Breeds of Poultry
In six of the following chapters, I have tried to describe briefly some of the profit able breeds; to give a little information about their histories; and to show what may be ex pected from each of them. With regard to the historical side, the truth is that there is no breed, and only an occasional variety, of which the origin is not in dispute. I have given the versions which strike me as most logical, with such comments as seemed to come within the province of a handbook. The reader who desires lengthy argument must seek it in books written by specialists.
