[Transcriber's Note: This printing had more than its share of typographical errors. Obvious typos, like "tim" for "time", have been corrected.] "The Dollar Hen" by Milo Hastings is a comprehensive practical guide to poultry farming written in the early 20th century. The author, a former poultryman and expert from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, aims to address the deficiencies in existing agricultural literature by offering actionable insights into the poultry business that focus on profitability and sustainability. The book likely centers around those interested in establishing successful poultry operations, particularly emphasizing the production of eggs and the necessary economic foundations for running a poultry farm. The opening of the book outlines the author's motivation for writing it, detailing the common misconceptions and challenges faced by newcomers to the poultry industry. Hastings underscores the importance of understanding both the economic and scientific aspects of poultry production, warning against relying solely on conventional wisdom from agricultural colleges, which he believes may not provide the practical knowledge needed for success. He highlights the pitfalls often encountered, such as excess investment without a return, and introduces the concept of "The Dollar Hen" as a metaphor for maximizing profits in poultry farming. Additionally, he categorizes potential readers and outlines the scope of the book, gearing it primarily toward those who wish to make poultry raising a viable source of income.
