A lot of people whom Ive cooked for often use to tell me that my
food is so good why havent I written a book of all the Delicious
Recipes I came up with. So that got me to thinking why not, Ill
give it a shot. I said to myself why not come up with a cookbook so
plain and simple to read and understand that a 5th Grader can
become an expert in the kitchen. I even went as far to as to list
the Ingredients first with the exact amount to use follow by the
Directions that are so precise, it takes the room of error out of
making any mistakes. Not only that, I said why not put different
types of recipes everyone can enjoy in this book rather than just
have a plain one like you see in stores and on stands. In addition
I included different techniques of Kitchen Ideas one can use in the
kitchen to help them along the way which I use even today that
really works. To take it a step further, Ive added as a bonus
things Worth Remembering around the house that we all use which can
be an inexpensive way of cleaning your home with the fraction of
cost from supplies you already have. I can tell you this, if I had
a book like this around years ago loaded with all the goodies
inside at my disposal, there would have been even more people at my
windows and doors begging to see, smell and taste what was coming
from my kitchen.

THE BUSINESS HEN Breeding and Feeding POULTRY FOR PROFIT H. W.
COLLINGWOOD - PREFACE. the past ten years some 5,000 questions
regarding poultry and its management have beenasked by readers of
The RiiralNew- Yorker. In preparing this little volume I have had
these questions in mind. They are all answered in the following
pages. Most poultry books have two faults. They are generally
prepared by one man alone, and too much space is usually given to a
discussion of the merits and markings of the different breeds. In
preparing this vol- ume I have endeavored to secure the opinions of
the bestinformed poultry-men in the country. I desire to express my
special indebtedness to Messrs. P. H. Jacobs, Henry Hales, James
Rankin and J. H. Drevenstedt for advice and information. Men who
keep The Business Hen care, more for performance than for outward
appearance. All who are interested in poultry have now excellent
opportunities of studying the different breeds at exhibi- tions.
For these reasons I have given but little space to breeds and their
characteristics. There is also nothing said about geese and other
fowls and pets. This book deals with the hen alone. I prefer to
treat other poultry exhaustively, or not at all. Much is said here
about the Leghorn hen. This is simply because the Leghorn happens
to be doing the work on the majority of the successful egg farms
that I have examined. Special attention is called to the chapters
descriptive of Mr. Wyckoffs hens and Mr. Johnsons farm. These men
are good models for would-be poultryfarmers to follow. H. W.
COLLINGWOOD.THE ORIGIN OF POULTRY BREEDS. CHAPTER I. HENRY HALES.
KNOWLEDGE of the best methods of breeding and rearing poultry and
the origin ofthe various breeds, as well as of the processes by
which they were formed, can be acquired only by deeper study than
most people imagine. It is not many years since earnest attention
was first given to this improvement or production, by careful
selec- tion, of the various forms and colors that distinguish the
dif- ferent varieties of the poultry of to-day. Still, at a very
early period some attention was, no doubt, given to fowls by man,
probably by merely keeping the most attractive-looking and
destroying the poorest, and in this way a few defined breeds were
distinguished in a crude way, as Chinese, Game and all its
varieties in India and Dorking, Hamburgs, Polish, French and
Spanish in Europe...
Written by a seasoned Prophet and reputable Spiritual Scientist,
His Lordship Bishop Bassey Effiong Orok; Everlasting Arts and
Sciences volume 2 unveils more than 4000 secrets of the universe,
natures, souls, destinies, spirits, man, earth and its components
and creatures. Vital issues like the World's Holiest City,
different manifestations of our first parents (Adam and Eve) on
Earth, the Earth's most important and costly portion (city) are
unveiled. Mystery in names, most blessed moment since the creation
of the Earth, and the chemistry behind the physical manifestation
of the Almighty God on Earth are also unveiled.
Another (final) change in the world climate, release and
withdrawal of keys to immortal and from mortal music are here
revealed. In-depth knowledge on the spiritual composition of man,
animal, fish, bird, fire, thunder and air; forces behind talking,
sleeping, tongue; witchcraft and the causes of population on Earth;
the different spiritual essences attached to each continent of the
world, the pasting of the flag of victory of good over evil in all
continents of the world are among other revealing secrets in this
book. The New Name of the Almighty God is again exposed for man's
consumption and eternal blessings. Equally, those portions
earthquake cannot occur, and why bigger nations will come to their
knees are also unveiled. Endless number and figure of Final
Judgment, the composition of perpetual life, the original location
of the Garden of Eden, the composition of the Bottomless Pit and
the Mark of Salvation are also some of the important contents. It
is a book for all races, tongues, nations and colours, of this last
generation.
