THE MARKETING OF POULTRY [To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]

Sm,—Few will disagree with Sir William Beach Thomat when he says that poultry, on a general farm, pays well if properly managed. If the selling end could be organized efficiently I am convinced that a great deal less than £20,000,000 would be expended on imported eggs.

Perhaps Sir William would express his views as to how organization could be made effective. With a sound central agency for grading, selling, preserving, &c., many would increase their head of poultry without fear of the produce being so difficult to sell at certain seasons.—I am, Sir, &c.,
