214 SERVIA 



of bacon, obtained from 16,120 pigs, though up 

 to quite recently the Servian farmers paid little 

 attention to pig-breeding, and none to fattening 

 for the markets. Of poultry, too, Servia sup- 

 plies us with considerable quantities, especially 

 for our Christmas markets, and she is also 

 opening up a good trade with us in eggs, judg- 

 ing from the fact that a consignment she des- 

 patched to London in November, 1902, filled 

 four railway waggons. 



Servia may be a small country, and a poor 

 and uncultivated one ; but she has re-organized 

 her agricultural methods, she has re-established 

 her farmers, and she now feels quite equal to 

 sending her surplus stocks all across Europe to 

 compete with the British producer in his home 

 markets.
