Abstract

The Live Stock and Chickens scrapbook documents the poultry and cattle industry from 1899-1912 through a series of newspaper clippings from the American Agriculturalist, the Country Gentlemen, and the Practical Farmer as well as series of U.S. Department of Agriculture pamphlets on poultry management, ducks and geese, breeds of dairy cattle, and turkeys.

Administrative History

Poultry farming is the raising of domesticated birds such as chickens, ducks, turkeys and geese for the purpose of farming meat or eggs for food. Poultry are farmed in great numbers with chickens being the most numerous. More than 50 billion chickens are raised annually as a source of food, for both their meat and their eggs.
