MEAT TRUST KILLING IT.
Sheep Breeding Industry Has No Show
 Against Big Monopoly.

Sheep Breeding Industry Has No Show
 Against Big Monopoly.
 At the meeting of the Connecticut Sheep Breeders Association in Hartford, Friday. Prof. J. B. Mclean, of Amherst, told how the meat trust is killing the sheep industry and driving local sheep raisers out of business. h the course of his speech he said: f'
 "I take it that one of the first prob lems which the breeders of sheep have to solve Is that of obtaining a market for his product.
 ''There are mutton and lamb producers in Massachusetts and New England Ro- ing out of business because they do not get living prices for their lambs and wethers. The chief reason is that the meat trust has such control of all the markets in this part of the country that these farmers cannot find buyers. Local butchers have been driven out of the business by sanitary board requirements on the one hand and the methods of the meat trust on the other. This difficulty, n my mind, can, and perhaps must be, overcome by the farmer acting as his own middieman, doing his own slaugh- tering and selling his own product to the consumers. This will be she first solu- ton and is the solution now in the hot house lamp business. Later when the production becomes more general, coop erative slaughter houses and marketing will spell the final solution of this dim culty."

 Family, in Same Company.

Father and Three Sons, of McGrath
 Family, in Same Company.
 The death of Andrew McGrath. at the soldiers homein Noroton. as recorded in The News last week, recalls the inter esting fact that deceased was one of three brothers, who. with their father. enlisted for the war of the Rebellion and went out with the old Second Connecti- cut regiment. from Can an. all being members of Company F.
 The father was Patrick McGrath. who died in Unionville about S7 years ago. One son, John, the eldest, was killed in the battle of Gold Harbor, June 8, 1861. as related in Comrade E. s. Roberts war "reminiscences some weeks ago. Andrew, the next oldest, was the one who died Nov. 29, in the soldiers home. He left 8 widow and one daughter, in Thomas ton. lnterment was in Winsted, and six nephews acted as pail bearers-Fred and John Parmelee of; Canaan, Edward and Will Chopper, and David and Edward McGrath. The surviving broth CT, Edward, is still living in Bridgeport. A sister. Mrs. Julia Mct7rath Chopper. lives in Canaan, with her daughter, Mrs. Henry J. King. in the Clemans building. over Vosburgh's grocery store.
 It is related, by way of reminiscenoe, that when the enlisting fever was at its height, it was not the intention of the elder McGrath, Patrick, to volunteer. but when he learned that his boys were going to war, he remarked:
 If Andrew and Edward want to go, let them go together, but if John goes I'm going, too,"
 John was his oldest and favorite son, and the old gentleman would not be separated from him.
