Opis

This special re-print edition of the American Pekin Duck Company's "How We Make Ducks Pay" contains all the basics on raising White Pekin Ducks for pleasure, for eggs or for meat purposes. Written in 1906, this classic publication on Pekin Ducks, once also called White Peking Ducks was billed as "An Illustrated Guide to the Profitable Breeding of the Modern White Pekin Duck." The book includes "plain and thorough lessons for beginners and others everywhere" on "how to shelter, how to get plenty of fertile eggs, how to hatch them, how to brood the young, how to feed, how to fatten, how to butcher and pick them, how to buy breeding stock, how to mate and select for size and stamina" and much more. Lavishly illustrated. Undoubtedly the most authoritative book ever written solely on the Pekin Duck breed. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
