Many of ihe improved facilities Vilich have been adopted by the freight departments of our roads are directly attributable to the handling of perishable agricultural products. Routes have been shortened, through echcdules adopted motive power increased and by the use of ventilation, refrigeration, speed and quick delivery the railri rids are enabled to p'aca the truck in the northern market in Vi good condition as when it left the outhern farm, even when it necessitates a jomi ey of many hundreds f miles. t )caiona Obliterated. ) Buch a thing as a particular season for any kind Ol abatable in our principal markets is at this time practically unknown, and it is now possible to draw Upon the different sections of the country and receive at ny season of the ar n-aily all th etandard varieties of Tegetables.
