Book Description

Excerpt from Report on the Poultry Industry in America But there are branches which, in spite of less favourable conditions, American poultry-keepers have gone beyond us. How far their methods can be adopted by us is indicated in the recommendations given at the end of the Report. Acknowledgments - It would be impossible to acknowledge adequately the help and courtesies extended to me during the course Of my enquiry, for at every place visited I found not only the greatest readiness to afford me information, but an earnest desire to make my journey both pleasant and profitable. Had I accepted the numerous invitations to extend my enquiries, it would have needed as many months as I was able to give weeks to the work. I may, however, express my special thanks to the Hon. James Wilson, us. Secretary Of State for Agriculture at Washington, and the Hon. Sydney Fisher, m.p., Canadian Minister of Agriculture at Ottawa, for the great help and assistance rendered to me. I am indebted to Mr. J. H. Robinson, Editor Of Farm Poultry, Boston, Mass, for the photographs from which Plates I. And III. To VIII. Are reproduced, and to Prof. C. K. Graham, of Storrs Agricultural College, Conn, for that represented by Plate II. I have the honour to remain, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your obedient servant.
