Transportation Of Poultry.

The farmers throughout the country and,
speaking locally, the commission men of
Chicago, are jubilant over the in
PRODUCTION on the Lackawanna Railroad
of a patent car for the transportation of
live poultry. Heretofore great losses have
been sustained by shippers, especially in
warm weather, and much dissatisfaction has
been visited on the consignees. 1t is to
hoped that all this trouble has now been
entirely obviated; that is, where the new
conveyance is in use, and il it answers its
purpose as we'll as it is anticipated, there
is no doubt il will become general. The
car is ten feet higher than the ordinary
freight cor, and contains 1l6 compart-
ments, each one four feet square, in a
series of eight decks, with an aisle running
through it crosswise, and another one
lengthwise. It's capacity is from 3, 500 to
4, 500 fowls, according to the season of the
year. BY q system of drop decks the
freight is loaded and unloaded at the bot
tom Of the car, the sides of which are or
strong wire netting, in which are the doors
10 the several compartments. On the top
of the Car, in the center, is a water tank
large enough to supply full load on a
Journey of 5000 miles. Each compartment
is supplied on three sides with abundant
food and water by system of troughs and
hose that is easily worked on the inside,
no matter how great the speed of the train.
The food is stored in box or tank be-

ing fewer demands upon her time, has
been able to indulge her fondness for
walking, and may be seen almost any

Kay, her big dog, starting out for a

for these walks does not lie in the fash
ionable part of Washington, as it was
decided at the outset that it would be
impracticable because Of the widespread
attention which would be inevitable in
the old quarter of the city. In the
quaint, quiet neighborhoods west of
Seventeenth, on e and g streets, the
presidents young wife walks for an
hour or SO every afternoon, the great
mastiff bounding ahead, recalled now
and then by means of silver whistle
forming the handle of the jaunty little
whip carried by his mistress. Mrs. La
mont frequently accompanies Mrs.
Cleveland on these walks, which gener-
ally extend as far as the old naval OBJ
seryatory.
