Poultry Secrets Revealed (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Poultry Secrets Revealed: The Most Complete Book on Poultry Raising Ever WrittenPoultry raising is the biggest business on earth. Government statistics - incomplete as they are - prove that the poultry industry of the world surpasses every manufacturing business. Cotton is no longer king. Beef, pork and mutton are left far in the rear. Wheat was passed long ago; and even King Corn will be found in second place when the poultry industry is properly tabulated.And this great industry is a profitable business, giving better returns for the money invested than any other line of legitimate trade. It has been proven over and again that the cost of producing' poultry meat is no greater, pound for pound, than that of producing beef, pork or mutton. At the same time the market reports, month by month, show that the selling prices are overwhelmingly in favor of the poultryman. The live weight prices for the best grades of poultry run on the average from two to three times as much as the highest prices paid for the best grades of cattle, hogs or sheep; while in the lower grades the difference is still greater.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
