Abstract
EVERYONE who is interested in poultry farming should read this book. It is written to help the average farm worked by its owner. The author has not in view the large ‘luxury farm’, worked sometimes altogether by electricity, the true economic value of which it is difficult to estimate. In this book the facts relating to the use of electricity on poultry farms in many different parts of the country are given, together with the work done by research institutes. Lancashire and Yorkshire are very favourably situated, since farmers can buy electricity at \-\d. per unit. In districts where the cost is \%d. the user has to be economical in its use. All those consulted agree that there is a distinct saving in labour, a gain in cleanliness, safety from fire and exactness of operation by using electricity.
