About the author

Born in 1887, Alfred R. Lee is identified in library records as Alfred R. Lee, and in at least one authority-style listing as Alfred Rogers Lee. He is associated with early agricultural writing, especially on poultry raising and housing.

His known works include Poultry House Construction and Fattening Poultry, both practical manuals connected with the United States Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Animal Industry. The surviving records suggest he wrote for readers who wanted direct, workable advice rather than theory.

Little biographical detail was easy to confirm beyond his birth year and authorship of these agricultural bulletins, so his published work remains the clearest picture of him: a concise, useful voice in American farm literature of the early 1900s.
