Excerpt from The Call of the Hen: Or the Science of the Selecting and Breeding Poultry for Egg-Production

It was also tested'in New Zealand' by D. D. Hyde, Chief poultry expert for the New Zealand Government, and Prof. Brown, of the New Zealand Poultry Experiment Station. I have repeatedly been requested by my friends in different parts of the world to publish the full matter in book form, but poor health and lack of sufficient funds have prevented me from doing so until now. As this work will be copyrighted, I do not anticipate the literary pirates will raid_it as they have my former work. In justice to the poultry fraternity, I want to say that while I have been and am now a member of the American Poultry Association, and have raised poultry fifty-six years, and now raise them by the thousand, I have never in the past classed myself as a poultryman in the strict sense of the word. Neither do I claim that I am the only one who has discovered the facts set forth in this book. I Only know that I have never seen them in print before. I know what the results of fol lowing this method have been with me, and I feel safe in assuming that the things I have discovered have not been known. Hundreds have known me as an inventor and woolen manufacturer where one would know me as a poultry crank; and the only apology I have for offering this book to the pub lic in a field already crowded with poultry literature is the earnest solicitation of my friends.

Excerpt from The Call of the Hen: Or the Science of the Selection and Breeding of Poultry

This is an age which demands action, applied thought, and a practical, actual, and workable science. The world is demanding to know, not "What are you?" or "What do you look like?" but "What can you do?" Drones are being culled out in all lines of business activity, and rightly so; and the same is true with the poultry business. The hen which delivers the goods is the hen which is in demand. "The hen that lays is the hen that pays."

We have two reasons for publishing The Call of the Hen. Some three years ago Mr. Hogan sent us three males, all Single Comb White Leghorns; one was of his 280-egg type, selected according to this system, another was of the 150-egg type, and the third was of a 70- or 80-egg type. He also sent us two pens of hens of his own selection and breeding. We trapnested all the hens, and bred from all three males. The results in every case have borne out Mr. Hogan's claims and the truthfulness of his methods of selection and breeding. We have also tested the hens in the egg-laying contests; taken measurements and made tests and judged their capacity for laying as per this system, The Call Of the Hen. The results so nearly tally with the system in practically every case that we feel that this is a valuable method of selection and breeding, which should be in the hands of everyone who attempts to raise poultry.

Capacity, condition, type, and vigor must all be taken into consideration in determining whether a hen will be a good producer or a poor producer. By making a careful and sensible application of the rules made known in this book, it is possible for any poultry-raiser to avoid great loss.

We are told, and have good reason to believe that it is true, that the average farm hen lays less than 80 eggs per year. If that be true, about half the poultry is being kept at a loss to the owner.
