Book Description

Excerpt from The Agricultural Gazette of New South Wales, 1893, Vol. 4: Part I The various sections into which the Gazette is divided have been well filled, and, by way of addition, the somewhat neglected poultry industry has now been added, the first article having appeared in our November issue. Under this head it is intended to give, in addition to the personal axpe ricuce of the writer, reliable information, from whatever source, regarding the different varieties of fowls, their laying capabilities and value for the table, advice regarding methods of feeding as well as methods for preventing, and remedies for, various diseases. It is intended, moreover, to confine the information given to' the purely commercial aspect of the business, and to avoid more than passing reference to those breeds which are of a fancy character. A series of articles is now being published which will eventually form a complete handbook to the vineyard and cellar; and other branches will follow in due course.
