About the author

Working in the early 1900s, Harry M. Lamon was a poultry expert associated with the United States Department of Agriculture. His books and bulletins focused on breeding, feeding, and selecting productive hens, with an emphasis on practical methods that farmers could apply right away.

He is credited on works such as Feeding Hens for Egg Production, Poultry Feeds and Feeding, and The Mating and Breeding of Poultry. These publications reflect a period when poultry keeping was becoming more systematic, and his writing helped explain that transition in a straightforward, useful way.

Reliable biographical detail about his personal life is limited in the sources I could confirm here. Based on the records available, he was born in 1872 and is remembered mainly through his agricultural writing and his contribution to poultry husbandry.
