Summary by H. H. Cousins. 



1. As regards horsekind, the mule problem will be solved by a 

 general improvement in the former on lines already laid down. 



2. Premiums should be paid for approved jacks to be used by the 

 peasantry at a nominal fee. 



I do not approve of compulsory castration of donkeys, since this 

 would deteriorate the working powers of the beasts of burden of the 

 small settlers. 



3. One or more high class jacks of the Maltese type should be im^ 

 ported. Improved donkeys should be bred at the Stock Farm from 

 selected Jamaican asses. 



5. The Horse Show should be encouraged. A special grant for 

 horse prizes to be made at the chief Shows in the Island.
