This illustrated text comprises a detailed treatise on the science of the selection and breeding of poultry. A comprehensive and detailed text, this book contains much in the way of timeless and practical information that will be of significant value to the modern poultry breeder. It constitutes a worthy addition any collection of antique literature of this ilk.
