A. AND P. SOCIETIES CONFERENCE.

At the conference on Thursday, Mr. McLean (Hawke’s Bay) moved : “That the Railway Department be asked to make better provisions for the conveyance of show' stock.” The mover said that it was coming to this: That ,under the present system, he and others did not care to risk valuable stock in a train. Until better provisions were made, he was certain that a good many people would abandon sending stock to shows.

Air. Perry (Masterton) seconded the motion, which he thought a very’ important one. He knew how stock was knocked about on the railways. Air. F. S. Pope, secretary of the Agricultural Department, did not think that a general circular by’ the Government would do much good, as it would soon be forgotten. AVhat he would suggest would be that farmers consigning valuable stock should call on the stationmaster beforehand, and ask him to issue an instruction to the driver and guard .informing them that then was valuable stock on board which must be taken caie of.

Mr. Rutherford thought that the tremble was not so much with show’ trains and stock as with mixed ti i ’is Alien the shunting did much

damage. Air AIM can agreed th it it was the shunting that did most of the Ilf thoagl t tl at represcntaions mjqhi be made to the Railway Department that things are not quite so good as they might be.

Hus was agreed to. REGISTRATION OF WOOL BRANDS.

Mr. Russell (Hawke’s Bay) moved: “That the registration of wool brands should be. made compulsory.’’ The mover pointed out that it was known that inferior wool had been marked with a wellknown brand and sent Home. There it got the benefit of the known brand, althoush tlie, wool was inferior. They wished to make it absolutely’ illegal for one' man to use another man's brand.

Air. J. J. Bruce thought that the amending Bill, which was now bcinsr introduced ,would meet the case.

After some further discussion it was decided that provision should be made for the registration of wool brands in such a manner that any infringement of a registered brand would be illegal.
