Poultry feeds and feeding

Part III is devoted to the practical feeding of poultry and tells how to feed poultry, and is the part of greatest importance to everyone who keeps any chickens.The readers who do not care to study into the purpose of feeding or to learn why certain things are done can turn direct to this part of the book and select a ration which will give them good results and secure information on feeding which is of immediate practical application.Successful rations are given which are in actual use in different sections of the country.Rations for every class of poultry keepers are included: for the farmers with whom poultry is a side issue, for the suburban or city family who have only enough available space to keep a few fowls and for the poultryman who keeps chickens on a large scale.Complete information and rations on the commercial fattening of poultry as it is conducted in the poultry fattening stations are also included.The authors have endeavored to supply a book on poultry feeding that will do for poultrymen and poultry students what the well-known book on "Feeds and Feeding" by Henry and Morrison has so successfully done for stockmen and students of livestock.The object throughout this book has been to present all the scientific and practical facts relating to poultry feeding in so simple a manner that anyone can understand and readily use them in his own feeding problems.
