REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT, GUSTAVE LANGELIER. 



POULTRY. 



The poultry department at this Station is only being organized, and as yet no 

 buildings have been erected and very little stock procured. In ordinary poultry only 

 one breed will be kept, Barred Plymouth Rocks, of vphich it is hoped to raise about one 

 hundred from this spring's hatching. 



This breed of fowl has been selected because it is the most common in this sec- 

 tion and it has been thought that more good will be done by confining our efforts to 

 the one variety rather than dividing our attention among several. 



Turkeys, geese, and ducks will be kept; at present a start has been made with 

 the turkeys, and a trio of the Bronze variety has been secured. 



The incubators are being run in an old poultry house and the chicks brooded in 

 three colony houses, but it is hoped that this summer will see a beginning made 

 towards an up-to-date poultry plant.
