Descrição do livro
Annotated Content This edition includes: "If your climate will not permit your hen to live out doors get out of the climate or get out of the hen business." Introduction Every book on raising chickens tells you how. This one begins by asking whether you should. Milo Hastings was twenty-seven, he had written the United States government's own report on the egg trade, and he had decided the kindest thing he could do for his reader was tell the truth about the money. What follows is the most bracing farming manual America produced. Synopsis Hastings opens by demolishing the statistics his own industry quoted, then works out where in America eggs can actually be produced at a profit and prints the maps. He argues that poultry farming succeeds as a community of ordinary farms rather than a concentrated plant, that hens belong in the open air, and that stocking density is the hidden cause of most disease. Practical chapters follow on farm layout, incubation, feeding, illness, fattening, chicken breeds and breeding, with a long and unexpectedly gripping account of how a fresh egg becomes a graded, cased, cold-stored commodity somewhere between the farm gate and a city breakfast. For eighty years the industry did the opposite of everything he recommended. Growers rebuilding pastured flocks from first principles found the arithmetic already done, and done well, in 1911. A Stunning Reprint A clean, modern, easy-to-read edition, made for the general reader rather than the academic seminar. Scholarly editions of period farming texts bury the author under footnotes, bracketed corrections and critical apparatus until the argument is impossible to follow. Infinite Pages Collective takes the opposite view. Set in Garamond, printed with no footnotes and no interruptions, this edition leaves Hastings's prose unobstructed so his voice carries the way it did for readers learning how to raise chickens a century ago. The four original plates are retained, because the maps and price graphs are the evidence. Cream paper and a matte cover make it a book worth giving to anyone raising backyard chickens, keeping a first flock, or planning a small commercial venture. Click Add to Cart now. Title Details
