NOTE. 



Owing to the illness of the Poultry Manager, Mr. A. G. Gilbert, during a great 

 part of the year, he was unable to plan and supervise many of the lines of experi- 

 mental work which otherwise would have been taken up. 



The report of the Poultry Division, which follows, is therefore brief. It has been 

 prepared, for the most part, by Mr. Victor Fortier, Assistant Poultry Manager, and 

 Mr. Walter Scott, foreman, Poultry Division.
