FRAUD IN Hay VENDING.-The system of vending
nay 6y the load leads to the practice of constant
frauds upon purchasers There are many WAYS in
which the purchasers of hay are defrauded Often
times the amount received falls short full five hun
bred pounds. One of the ways is to have a wagon
with false bottom, which is filed with gravel; it
Is then loaded with hay and driven to the scales,
! where a certificate for the gross weight is given
The owner or his confederate then proceeds to some
| secluded place, drops the gravel, and disposes OF
the hay for the full amount shown upon the face of
the certificate. This is a common practice Anoth-
er way Is to retain the certificate after the sale to
be used on the next occasion with a smaller amount
Last week man drove his wagon to the western
scales, and while there stone weighing some fifty
pounds Tell from under the load. The weigher pro-
curing pitchtork, drove it into the hav where it
came IN contact with hard substance, which upon
examination proved to be another stone which it
said weighed one hundred and fifty pounds The
owner, tearing the consequences, Jumped upon his
horse aud drove off, theae being no officer near
Those who purchase hay by the load should make

not prachced upon them.
