Oscar Smart was a highly regarded poultry Biologist near the beginning of the last Century. He was a Brit and considered one of the leading experts in that field in his time. In the U.S.A. his counterpart was Raymond Pearl. Both men disagreed with each other on several points in this field of study. Oscar Smart was especially interested in encouraging and breeding for better egg laying in domestic chickens. He would have been an even brighter star in the poultry world but his health was not good and he died young in 1917.
Oscar wrote for the journal , "Eggs and the intensive world; the official organ of the Intensive Poultry League.". His regular column "Scientific Jottings" was full of useful information for both novice and expert. Written in easy-to-understand prose.
It may take a few days , I am going to input links to his work in this thread. It's basically a bibliographic database of his works with hot links where folk can read it free on-line. I hope you enjoy reading his works as much as I have.
Best Regards,
Karen
