Abstract
THIS is, a well illustrated volume of some three hundred pages. A portion of the material, as the preface points out, has already appeared in the New York Farmer. The bulk of the work, with the exception of a chapter devoted to the Indian runner duck, deals with the breeding and management of the “American hen.” The reader will have gathered that the book has been produced on the “other side,” but there is much that is of interest to our own countrymen. Government aid, problems of improvement, and many amusing stories of the three-hundred-egg hen, are all1 dealt with, and now the development grant is in sight several of the hints given might be well worthy of consideration.
