If you keep hens, you keep history. This is the book. C. N. Bement brings a clear, hands-on voice to the everyday realities of poultry keeping, from selecting stock to the steady routines that turn a noisy yard into a reliable larder. First published in the heart of 19th century American farming, The American Poulterer'S Companion stands as a definitive poultry husbandry manual and an illustrated poultry guide, grounded in observation and practical judgement. It covers domestic poultry breeding, chicken and fowl rearing, and the unglamorous but essential details of housing, feeding, health, and fattening poultry for market. The illustrations and portraits, taken from life, sharpen the eye for type and condition, making this vintage farm reference book as useful for backyard chicken keepers as it is for readers building a small farm homesteading guide of trusted staples. Whether your interest is a few layers, a mixed flock, or a deeper grasp of heritage livestock management, Bement offers a steady framework that still reads cleanly today. As a document of early American agriculture, it preserves the mindset and methods that shaped household economies long before modern feed sacks and plastics, and it belongs on the shelf beside any traditional homestead skills collection. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
