Notes

Editor Drevenstedt, of Poultry Fan
| cier and Stockkeeper, in a story in his
estimable paper covering the sub
mergence of the earth with white
shelled eggs, remarks as follows: "If
there is anything that seriously menaces
the standardized poultry industry, it
is the distribution of eggs and chicks
from alleged 800 to 1888 1-3 strains of
record layers. That, however, we will
leave to our esteemed utility poultry
and agricultural journals to ponder
over" Nothing to ponder over-admit,
for the sake of argument, that it IS
wrong to advertise chicks and eggs in
unlimited quantities from 300 or more
egg strain; is it right to advertise eggs
and chicks from show winners? Which
purchaser has the best chance Of real
izing on his investment?
When a more equitable adjustment of
freight rates come about conditions will
alter themselves naturally-with the
present scheme of high rates on edibles
and the machinery used in their culture
and transportation to market scheme
involving arbitrarily fixed rates, rates
on the same commodity based solely
on weight regardless of distance, more
and less are raised each year for sale.
Poultry is now a farm table staple,
