,l clsss OF cattle viii be largely in the ascendant n ts
show on the 5h aud 27h OF October butwe beg the man
a.rs not neglect the breed IN all their variety
Of shades OF color and characteristics they exist in every

There another very important subject for the consider
alton of this Cattle Convention that VIII give national
character more than anything else that can be done for
il matter of national importance much - the i'm
provemeut Of the breed Of cattle. This is the raosPos
ton Of cattle BY railroads. Our weekly consumption u
Beeves in this City the rst six months OF ths year was
1913 or s29i per week 900 Of which came by rail
road Nearly all the supply OF the Boston market Is
transported BY railroad and consider il safe estimate
70 say that CATTLE ar in the cars every
week in the United States and drove OF cattle some
times passes over egh; different roads in jour
new To accommodate hs great and very rapidly reasng
trade We .ant concert Of action and set Of regulations
upon all the roads with increased rate OF speed and
right Of way for cattle trains all other fire. ht trains
and in fact the preference should be given cattle trains
over all passenger trains except those running express
and such power should be applied would move them at
III rate OF twenty miles hour with few stops POS
sbe for il is while the train standing while il 10
moving that the cattle get down and are injured.
Now we suggest to the managers OF the National Cat
tie Convention that they send invitation. immed aiey {"
all the railroads in the nation that concerned IN the
cattle trade, send delegates TO meet the cattle men in
council Columbus and there agree upon regulations and
a tariff of transportation, satisfactory to both parties
This would be of far greater benefit 10 Ohio than would
to decide who has got the largest calf who make
the biggest bull
Ohio alone will send than FIFTY THOUSAND beef
cattle the New-Iok market next year, besides untold
numbers of swine and sheep. II that is not something for
a National Convention of cattle 10 provide for, and
give the best means Of transportation then should ike
TO know what is more worthy Of their attention and pa
tronnge.
