Abstract
THE conference of which this is a report was the first of its kind held in this country, and its success should lead to other similar meetings. The report shows that most of the papers were of a scientific character, and its publication should extend the knowledge of the principles which lead to successful poultry-farming. Among the subjects dealt with are: the science and practice of farm poultry keeping, the parasitic diseases of poultry, and the assistance afforded by science in the production of eggs and poultry. There will be hope for British agriculture when the spirit which pervades these papers guides the operations of all who are concerned with rural industries.
