The average number Of cattle allowed In
a 36-foot or 40-foot car is eighteen. If they are
small animals two or three more may be
loaded In; but If they are big steers even
less than eighteen must travel together At
the beginning of the trip the cattle are put
into cars facing alternately to the left and
to the right They are not crowded, how
ever, so by the time their train Is switched
from Spuyten Duyvil down to the stockyards
by the North River at Sixtieth Street. they
are all looking out between the bars in the
same direction. During the thousand mile run
everything has been done for their comfort.
There is straw on the floor of the car and
they may lie down if they wish. Watering
troughs are filled periodically, and rule of
the American Society for Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals obligates shippers to cx-
ercise the stock In freight yard corrals once
every twenty eight hours.

The rules Of the A. S. P. c. A., under
which any police officer or one Of the societys
agents may bring al alleged wrongdoer be-
fore q magistrate, are hard and fast when it
comes to accommodations for all kinds of live
stock. TO begin with they fix the penalties
for exceeding custom. every person violat-
ing any of the provisions of this chapter shall
forfeit to the people of the State of New York
the sum of not less than $50 nor more than
SlOO tor the first violation, and not less than
SlOO nor more than $500 for the second and
each subsequent violaton,' and again, "Who-
ever violates any of the provisions of this
chapter shall be guilty of a misdemcanor. and
upon conviction shall be punished by a fine
of not less than $50 nor more than 5000. or
by Imprisonment of not less than one month
nor more than six months for the first offense,
and by six months imprisonment for the
second offense," according to which section of
the law is violated
These penalties provided for in the
state agricultural law. There also is Fed
eral statute which provides in case of over
loading or lack Of and exercise maxi
mum fine of $500. This Federal statute, whose
consttutionality has been vany assailed by
several railroads. provides for fve-hour rest
period for cattle shipments at the end of
every twentyeight hours travel
The rules governing the shipment of cattle
are generally extended to other kinds of stock,
including sheep and poultry. The A. S. P.
g. A. warns shippers that ''the shipping. car

Violations of the various rules providjnc for
animal comfort re few, according to Mr.. Car
thay, of the A. S. p G.. A. ON nv time with
the society there has been no serious violation
of rules by shippers" he said. "Most of our
cases are arrests Of drivers of ll-fed or phys
lcally unfit horses. Several years ago a
freight agent in White Plains was fined $3.50
for not providing proper ventilation in a cattle
car where several animals had died from over
crowding and suffocation.'
Comparatively little livestock is shipped into
New York. Most of the city's maat comes in
refrigerator cars from the Western packing
plants The demand for fresh killed meats in
the kosher butcher shops is the only reason
for the existence Of livestock industry in
New York, according to railroad workers.
Most of these cattle arrive in prime condition
from Chicago and few from closer regions,
and are Immediately taken to slaughter houses
In large packing centers, like Chicago, Omaha
Kansas City and Denver, cattle are fattened
in feeding ccnters' before being led to slaugh-
ter. The stock trains bearing thousands o.
cattle to the great purchasing points, go thun-
dering over the railway systems that tap the
given the right of way passenger trains,
and go bowling along at forty or fifty miles
an hour.
1t is no small task to unload these great
stock trains, feed several thousand steers and
then load the again and send the trains
their way, yet this must be done several
times before the cattle reach their destination
Aside from the humanitarian aspect Of the
case, it is estimated that stock is in so much
better condition at the end of the Journey
after having been fed and rested along the
route that the process is justified from an eco
nomic standpoint.
In the future may New York expect the
fresh air fend's friend, the Westcrner, to
evolve a human transit system run to comply
with Federal and state shipping laws? viii
some efficiency expert discover that, aside from
the humanitarian aspect of the case, squeez-
ing Office workers into poorly ventilated cars is
bad thing economically?
There is q great contrast between the ar
rival Of cattle train at Sixtieth Street and
the arrival of a subway train at Forty-secoad
Street There is ia crowd starding on the
platform waiting to get on The doors are slid
open much as the center doors on an INTERIOR
ough car, but there is no cry to "Step lively"
The cattle door opens a platform, and
across the platform is empty corral. a
man stands on either side of the passageway
from door to corral. One steer after a little
meditation, will venture out stepping calmly.
The others follow, and one of the men counts

point where 1t threatens to affect all
