The law prohibiting the traffic in
dead hogs is being iiagrantly violated
this winter of all winters when 1t should
be rigidly enforced. The carcasses arc
bought for shipment to soap factories,

licient sum 30 that the secretary can
work for the society without prejudice
to private interests we are confident
the exhibition Of next year will be cor.
respondingly benefited.
