Successful Incubation: A Working Manual for Large Hatching Plants

The Weimar Press. Los Angeles, CA

This little book gives our experiences in hatching conducted for about six years. It is the story of our investigations, how we have finally stumbled on to the right way to hatch chicks. It is hoped it will save many the heart-rending experiences we have gone through. When you once know how, it is simple enough to hatch chicks, but it is not always easy to find out the simple way.

We also hope that there will be no disappointment to our readers. It seems that most poultry books are written by persons sitting by a cosy fire spinning theories that are utterly impracticable. This book is based on actual hatchery work and every effort has been made not to mislead any one or make claims unsupported by actual facts.

But there is still room for improvement and we shall be glad to hear from our readers if difficulties persist. All letters to me should be addressed to the publishers of the book, and they will be forwarded.

The price of the book may seem high to many persons, but it costs a great deal to publish a book. It is not the paper it is printed on, but the advertising that costs, and it is more than doubtful whether the publishers will ever be adequately paid for it even at its high price. It contains real information, that will be worth tenfold its price to any reader even the first year he uses an incubator.

Moreover, it must be remembered that all the inventions of this book are given free to the public, there are no patents on any of them. Everybody is at liberty to use what he likes. The proceeds from the book is the only remuneration the author receives.
