Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
Contained within this antique text is a comprehensive treatise on raising turkeys, with information on feeding, breeding, housing, ailments, general management, and much more. The original intention of the authors was to provide in this publication the latest and most thoroughly reliable information on the subject for the use both of the raiser of market turkeys and of the producer of breeding or exhibition stock. Although old, this text contains much information that will be of value to the modern turkey breeder and is a book not to be missed by those interested. The chapters of this book include: History, Extent of the Industry and Opportunities, Varieties, Mating and Showing, Management of the Breeding Stock, Incubation of Turkey Eggs, Brooding and Rearing the Young Stock, Marketing, Insect Pests and Diseases and Predatory Animals. We are proud to republish this old work now complete with a new introduction on the subject .
