Excerpt from Biggle Poultry Book: A Concise and Practical Treatise on the Management of Farm Poultry
This little book is intended to help farmers and villagers conduct the poultry business with pleasure and profit. Its teachings are not drawn from the author's inner conscious ness exclusively, but from practical experience, study and Observation.
I have been Successful in the business myself, not as a fancier, but as a farmer, a fact which I do not attribute to my own ability entirely, but partly to the help derived from the stimulating and restraining influence of my good wife Harriet, and to Martha, the industrious and vigilant spouse of our faithful Tim.
