This special re-print edition of William Lewis' book "How To Raise Poultry For Pleasure and Profit" is a guide to raising poultry for pleasure and profit. Written in 1895 by one of the greatest poultry entrepreneurs of the late 19th Century, this classic text on poultry sheds light on age old techniques of managing chickens and other poultry. Lavishly illustrated with vintage period photographs, this classic text also offers a fascinating look into the poultry business of a century ago.
