CONNECTICUT POULTRY BREEDERS 
MEET. 
The most enthusiastic and most largely 
attended poultry meeting ever held in Con¬ 
necticut was held at Storrs College July 
27 and 28. The college furnished rooms 
free and charged 25 cents for meals. Ap¬ 
plications for rooms came from six States. 
The president and officers of Storrs Col¬ 
lege virtually turned the whole institution 
over to the' Connecticut Poultry Associa¬ 
tion for the two-day meeting. Dr. A. A. 
Brigham, now of South Dakota, the man 
Mho started the first course of instruction 
in poultry keeping ever given in this coun¬ 
try, at the Rhode Island Agricultural Col¬ 
lege, Mas the first speaker, and gave a 
very interesting and instructive address. 
We were expecting Brother Iagouri, a 
Trappist monk from Quebec, to follow Dr. 
Brigham, and were greatly disappointed on 
receipt of a telegram that he was too ill 
to come. Brother Ligouri is reported to 
make his liens pay a net profit of 84 each 
per year. lie learned the business in Bel¬ 
gium. and is well knou’n in Quebec as a 
successful poultryman. Fortunately, we had 
with us Mr. D. J. Lambert, “Honest Dan,” 
head of the poultry department at the 
Rhode island Agricultural College, who 
stepped into the breach and gave us an 
interesting lecture on "The importance of 
the Poultry Fancier in Improving and 
Keeping up to Standard the Different 
Breeds of Poultry.” In the evening Miss 
Wheeler of Clovernook Duck Ranch, Cliazy, 
N. Y„ gave an address on her “Personal 
Experiences in Poultry Keeping.” This ad¬ 
dress was a gem: seldom is an audience 
in such close sympathy with a speaker; it 
M-as laughter or applause nearly all the 
time. In closing Miss Wheeler read a 
poem written by her mother when 80 years 
old. explaining “how the White Holland 
turkey got the bunch of black hair on liis 
breast.” The poem was excellent and won 
hearty applause. Dr. Hodge of Clark Uni¬ 
versity, Worcester, Mass., followed M’ith a 
lecture illustrated with lantern slides, on 
“The Domestication of Game Birds.” Dr. 
Hodge raises partridge and quail right 
around his house in the city of Worces¬ 
ter. the only difficulty being the fencing 
out of cats. ' He brought some young quail 
down with him and let them loose on the 
college campus, then whistled them hack 
to him. II(‘ says they are much tamer 
than chickens.. He raised a flock of 44 
quail in his city yard this year. There 
were problems in feeding discussed by Dr. 
Hodge that M’ere exceedingly valuable to 
a poultryman. This lecture alone was 
worth the expense of a trip from any of 
the adjacent States. Wednesday morning 
Mr. J. F. I.antz of York. Pa., gave a very 
valuable lecture on “Mineral Elements in 
Fom'1 Nutrition.” This was followed by a 
lecture on “White Diarrhoea of Chicks,’ by 
Dr. L. F. Rettger of Yale College. Dr. 
Rettger has been investigating this sub¬ 
ject for two years, and is an authority. 
The Agricultural Department at 'Wash¬ 
ing congratulated our association on being 
abide to secure Dr. Rettger. The meeting 
closed with an interesting talk from John 
IT. Robinson, editor of “Farm Poultry.” 
Mr. Robinson said it M’as the largest and 
best poultry meeting he ever attended. 
While the meeting Mas held under the aus¬ 
pices of the Connecticut Poultry Associa¬ 
tion. its success M-as largely due to the 
hard work and persistent effort of Prof. F. 
II. Stoneburn. head of the poultry depart¬ 
ment at Storrs College. Prof. Stoneburn 
has noM- at the college over 2.000 chicks— 
many of the pullets- now laying—that are 
as slick looking a lot as can be found 
anywhere. In conclusion, I wish to say 
that the Connecticut Poultry Association 
will never forget the splendid hospitality 
of Storrs College. «eo. a. cosgrove.

PRODUCTS, PRICES AND TRADE. 
Freight Rates. —The schedules of 
freight rates which are “on file and open to 
public inspection.” in accordance with the 
laM r , may be perfectly clear to railroad ex¬ 
perts. but one not versed in their techni¬ 
calities can get about as much out of them 
as a four-year-old boy can from the differ¬ 
ential calculus. The reason for these fear¬ 
fully complicated schedules with their 
classified rates, commodity rates, etc., is 
clear only on the assumption that they 
hide a large number of “jokers” favorable 
to rebating. Charges to this effect have 
been made recently by an eminent railroad 
man. who says that rebating is being sys¬ 
tematically carried on M-ith large shippers 
under the cover of those complicated rates, 
and that small concerns - M-ith limited cleri¬ 
cal force are unable to analyze the sche¬ 
dules or avail themselves of the favorable 
features. The Interstate Commerce Com¬ 
mission is investigating these charges. The 
matter is mentioned here now to shoM- that 
the railroad rate problem is not settled for 
good as some have thought, and that all 
proposed legislation concerning transporta¬ 
tion will need to be closely watched. 
Live Poultry Losses.— The conditions 
under which live poultry is shipped and 
handled in the New York market cause a 
serious amount of loss in hot weather and 
cannot fail to excite the pity of all who 
have any consideration for the feeling of 
the helpless creatures.- Those birds are 
taken from free range or roomy yards, 
crowded into orates M-hich are piled one 
above the other in ears, and spend from 
one to three or four days on the road. 
While the cars are moving there is some 
breeze, but when held up in hot railroad 
yards, their feelings can be understood host 
by those Mho have noted the discomfort of 
a lien at 90 in the shade, with M-ings spread 
and mouth open, and on frqe range at 
that. There should be adequate Ium- to 
prevent the overcroM-ding of coops and cars 
in Summer. It is not only cruel to the 
poultry, but detrimental to the health of 
the consumers, as many of the birds that 
survive are sick when they finally reach 
the butcher. The half-grown chickens 
shipped as broilers stand the hardship bet¬ 
ter, as they are more active. Full grown 
fat hens suffer worst from the rough hand¬ 
ling, a sample of M-hich is to take hold 
of one end of a long coop and yank it 
out of a M-agon or from the top of a pile, 
while the other end falls three or four 
feet to the ground. Another cruelty is 
mauling the heads sticking out between the 
slats M-hen one epop is set on another or 
slid along it. Such things can be seen 
almost any day in the 14th Street market 
and other places where live poultry are 
handled. Of course many poultry dealers 
are not so careless, but the handling of 
live animals under such conditions tends to 
bring out all the brutality in man's na¬ 
ture. 
Produce Dealers Trust. —The question 
has been asked whether there is a com¬ 
bination among Ncm- York commission men 
to squeeze both farmers and consumers. 
No, there is nothing that could pass for 
a commission men’s' trust here. Now and 
then two or three houses may have an 
understanding about some deal in M-hich 
they are mutually interested, but the pro¬ 
duce dealers in New York do not hang to¬ 
gether well, and there appears to he more 
business jealousy among them than in 
other markets of this type. To organize 
them into a trust would be a little like try¬ 
ing to make a harmonious “happy family” 
of seven or eight hundred dogs and eats. 
I have been astonished at mean business 
tricks some of those men play on each 
other, especially in the way of stealing 
customers and killing trade, and know that 
in some cases the patrons at both ends of 
the line have been disgusted when they 
learned the details of these tricks. But 
even though the produce trade worked 
together in harmony it is doubtful 
wnether a real full-groM-n trust would be 
feasible on account of the perishable na¬ 
ture of the goods, dealt in and the conse¬ 
quent great haste with which the business 
must he done. Potatoes, Winter apples, 
dairy products and poultry are commo¬ 
dities sufficiently stable to bo subject to 
speculative trade, but practically every¬ 
thing else in the produce line must be dis¬ 
posed of in a rush. The important thing 
for producers M-ho have to sell through 
commission men is to stick to a square 
man. M-hen found. New concerns with al¬ 
leged immense trade in fancy products will 
solicit your goods, and agents for other 
houses will run down your man, but stick 
to him year after year until he misuses 
your confidence. W. w. H.
