Excerpt from The Peerless Way: A Book of Instruction on Practical Poultry-Raising and Marketing by Methods That Have Proven Successful A vivid imagination, combined with the ability to write, is responsible for the publica tion of a number of poultry books and articles. Dealing as they do, almost entirely with theo ries, many of which are exploded before the book is actually dry from the press, is it any wonder that those who have allowed them seives to be guided thereby should have met with disastrous results? It shall be our aim in the following pages to lead back the student into safe paths - paths Well trodden and made sure in the school of experience. The object shall not be to con struct a new and original system of poultry raising, but to place before the reader our views, based on careful observation of actual results obtained, and in a form that anyone so desiring may test, develop, and apply, to the solution of any poultry problem that comes before him.
