Domestic Pets, including Pigeons, Swan, Guinea Fowl, Parrot, and Cats is part of Thomas E. Hill's The Door to Independence, a collection of advice and instructions on how to make money from the soil - from agriculture and planting to raising livestock. Published in 1915, the book provides statistics and information on the rural US of the early 20th century, in addition to details on the day-to-day operations of farms back then. In addition to his beautiful watercolor paintings and illustrations of animals and plants, this turns the text into a valuable historical and artistic treasure.
