Poultry for profit
by R. A. (Richard Anderson) Power
About the author
R. A. Power, identified in library and public-domain records as Richard Anderson Power (1888–1974), is known for Poultry for Profit, published in 1923. The book presents straightforward advice on raising poultry, with attention to breeds, feeding, care, and the business side of keeping chickens.
What stands out about his writing is its practical purpose. Rather than aiming for literary flourish, he wrote as a guide for people who wanted clear, usable information about farm life and poultry production.
Reliable biographical details about his personal life appear to be limited in the sources I could confirm, so it is safest to remember him primarily as an agricultural author whose surviving reputation rests on this useful manual.
