 ing in Scotland. (Government PubL, pp. iv-f-iS. Edinburgh, 

 1909). E. S. JR. Washington, May 1910. 



This report is the result of an inquiry upon the methods com- 

 monly followed in the Highlands and islands of Scotland in the 

 breeding and keeping of poultry and the sale of poultry and eggs, 

 and especially into the results of the efforts of the Congested 

 Districts Board to promote this industry and to suggest how it may 

 be developed and improved.

The keeping of poultry continues to attract always more at- 

 tention in England. The national Poultry Organisation Society 

 avails itself of these favourable conditions in its endeavours to in- 

 troduce cooperative methods in the production of eggs.
