Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poultry-Craft: A d104-Book for Poultry Keepers; What to Do, How to Do It; Completely Indexed for the Convenience of Busy People For those who want to know about poultry keeping, for those who wish to learn poultry keeping, and for poultry keepers who cannot always remember things they know at the moment they happen to need them, this book was written: to the small army of writers of permanent and current poultry literature, nearly every one of whom has in some way contributed to its making, it is respectfully dedicated. The growing interest in fine fowls and the widening of the field of profitable operations in poultry culture have created a demand for a book which will give to one who thinks of engaging in poultry keeping an intelligent understanding of its possibilities and probabilities, whether for pleasure or profit, and a comprehensive idea of the ways and means of production and distribution of this country's enormous crops of poultry and eggs. Following this demand comes another, for a book of elementary instruction in all branches of poultry keeping. Separate books to meet these demands would be, in large part, duplicates, because before beginning it is necessary one should know, though superficially, many things which afterward he must learn thoroughly if his work with poultry is to be successful. With systematic, logical arrangement of the text, and with a complete carefully prepared index it was possible to make a book of information for inquirers and instruction for beginners, also a book for ready reference on poultry topics. There has long been pressing need of such a book. For years the publishers have had frequent calls for a book to which a poultry keeper could go for information on any and every matter, and find it in an instant. It is, perhaps, superfluous to say of such a book that it is essentially a compilation. This is measurably true even of the matter not credited to other writers. My work has been to condense and put in convenient form information which by reason of its abundance and the multitude of its sources has not been available for those who needed it most, to give, as it were, the composite opinion of sometimes conflicting authorities on each matter treated.
