Annual Convention, of the Live
Stock. Dealers' Association. of .'
Western Ontario. ,
The second annual meeting of the
Live Stock Dealers' Association of West-
ern Ontario was held. in Stratford, on the
1st Jane. The following were elected
officers for this year : Mr. T. 0. Robson,
St. Marys, President; Mr. N. Matheson,
Clinton, Vice•President ; - Mr. Wm.
Whale,- Stratford, Secretary -Treasurer.
The meeting took into consideration the
prospects of the sheep and lamb trade in
the American markets this season.
There were three extensive American
buyers present, wh.o gave it as their
opiniou that they will sell much lower
this season than last, for the Tollowin
reasons:
L The general depression in trade
which still continues prevents the work-,
ing classes from obtaining labor, so that
many of them are unable to -obtain anie
mal food at all, and those that are find,
pork much , cheaper, and will conse•
quently use that. It is a weal known
fact to those in the trade that the large
cities, such as New York and Boston'do
not use more than half the quantity of
fresh meat they did when times werii
good.
2. As far as can be ascertained front
reliable sources the supply of lambs
Kentucky,Tennessee, and other States i
larger than ever was known before. The
have usally been run out earl
in the season, and, have been out of th
43
way before the Canticles commenced ru -
ning, but this season they are from three
to four weeks later than usual. Mai+
of the buyers there as well as in Cana
foolishly contract them ahead before the
are fit for market, the consequence
that at the price they are now selling
in the eastern markets they are losin
from one to two hundred dollars per ca
which will naturally have a tendency o
hold them back,and will,therefore, bring
theta into direct competition with early
Canada lambs. In view of these facts
Canada shippers are advised not to ttiy
to ship early this season, but leave lambs
with the owners until they come to ma-
turity.
3. The Centennial having been held
in the States last year not only drew,
crowds of people from all parts of the
world, but also prevented many of t
wealthier classes who can afford to u
the best meats from leaving the State
whereas this season many of this cla
have gone to Europe and other parts
spend the summer, which will uecessari
make a large difference inthe consum
tion, AS compared with last year.
4. Sheep andlambs have been run
this winter from half a cent to a ce
lower than this time last year, and a
now from one two cents per pound, li
weight, lower than thie time last year, -
and are likely to rule 'much lower all
through the season. In view of these facts,
those engaged in the trade this season
are urged to operate with extreme cati-
tion and buy at low prices, otherwise
they will certainly lose money.
The following resolutions were unahi-
mously passed :
1. That this association would respe
fully suggest that the Toronto pap
would give a more correct report of t
Toronto cattle market, as we have r a -
son to believe they have received their
report from interested butchers, who
have greatly overrated the prices rearz-
ed, thus leading farmers and those n -
gaged in shipping to that market astr y,
and we hope the leading journals of t at
city will see it to be to their intecest to
give a satisfactory and correct report,
similar to that given in Montreal d
other large markets.
2,. This association would respectfu ly
petition the Grand. Trunk railway u-
thorities to build a new cattle matket- at
Montreal, outside the city limits, as he
accommodation at St. Gabriel market is
-entirely inadequate for the growing wa ts
of the trade. This meeting consider it
would be a profitable investment on their
part, and we further bind ourselves,1 if
said petition is complied with, to ship
ou.r stock to the said Grand Trunk mar-
ket, according to whatever terms s of
agreement may be arranged between this
association and the railway Bath ri-
ties.
3. This Association would respectf Ily
call the attention of stock raisers g n-
erally to the rapidly growing trade of
porting stook, stock, live and. dressed, to he
European markets, and the neces ity
on their part of improving their sto k,
as only pod stock can be exported ith
profit, and owing to the scarcity of fi st-
class atock in this country our shippers are
compelled to go elsewhere to get a L ae
portion of the stock they export.
The meeting then separated, to be
called together by the Secretary w i en
necessary.
French Chickens.
It is probable that few persons ou of
France are aware of; the extent of what
may be termed the "poultry indus ry"
of that country. According to state ics
given by one of the French papers,
France supports at the present time no
fewer than 40,000,000 hens, repres nt-
ing, at an estimated average of 2 fr nes
50 centimes each, 100000,000 fr nes
($20,000,000). These 40,000,000 ens
give birth annually to 100,000,000 ch ck-
ens of which it is found'expedient to put
aside 10,000,000 each year foe produc rve
purposes. Accidents and disease a ain
reduce the number of chickens dest ned
for consumption to 80,000,000, w ich,
petting their average value at 1 fran 50
ceptimes apiece, may ' be estimate as
worth 120,000,000 francs ($24,000, 00).
To these figures must be added the
further value rine to capons and fat
pellets, which may be stated as 6,000 000
francs.

Danger fro u Glandered Horses.
There is gre t danger to be apprehend-
ed from the co tegion communicated by
glandered hors s to man as well as beast.
A horse may be afflicted with what is
termed "chro ic glanders,"and live a
long tinae wi h proper care. He may
even seem to b otherwise in pod health,
take on fat, eat heartily, and Work well;
yet, notvsithst in:ling these favorable con-
ditions, the 4inis discharged ftom the
nose, or, whe4 disease results in farcy,
from other po tions of body,: is a deadly
poison. It wi I 'neurate a man's'system
where there i toe slightest !abrasion of
the skin, whe bought in contact with
it; and its e ect on other animals, at
times, commu sicatecl in a mysterious
manner, baffli g the closest scrutiny, is
equally fatal. Horses occupying a dif-
ferent stable men that of the affected.
animal, have been known tocontract
and die of th disease, and this too, in
the face of th fact that they were never
brought in co tact with eachother. And
yet with the all knowledge of the risk
they run, SOTO men are foolherdy' enough
to keep a gla, dered horse on their prem-
ises, prornpte by the vain hope of being
able to cure the patient of the disease.
Experience a d. common sense should.
impress upon all alike the pecessity of
destroying a landered. horse so soon as
it is discover d that the animal has the
disease. Th `proper way to dispose of
him is to dig a pit six or eight feet deep
in sense oh :cure, out-of-the-way spot;
have him c refully removed to, the pit
and there de royed, and his body cover-
ed with a thi k laver of lime and ashes
before the sol is thrown back into the
pit, thus avoi ling all possibility of further
misehief. T is course will be found not
only the mos humane but the most eco-
nomical in he eud.—Turf, Field and
