As would be “Xpected, ‘other horses,” which include saddle and carriage horses and vanners, are also decreasing. The reduction in the umber of unbroken horses is very noticeable and indicates a Marked decline in horse breeding. 6. Poultry.—In considering the numbers of poultry in the “Ountry it must be remembered that the Ministry’s returns relate only to holdings of over one acre in extent, and the numbers kept on cottage holdings and in gardens which are outside the 3¢0pe of the returns are very considerable, while large numbers re kept in towns. Apart from this, however, the returns of the numbers of poultry are not likely to be so exact as those of Other live stock, since many occupiers do not themselves know the precise numbers of poultry kept and are in many cases dis- Nelined to take trouble in regard to a class of stock which they ‘gard as of minor importance. For this reason the figures may be understated to a small extent, though they no doubt show Accurately enough the relative importance of poultry keeping on farmg in the different districts of the country. Returns of the Wmber of poultry have only been collected at infrequent intervals, Nd the following table gives the numbers on agricultural holdings 4% the date of each return. SS Year. RE Fowls.
