The Regular Thing .

"A correspondent of the Gazette
from Lovelocks, writes as follows:
The writer noticed that the large
stacks of flour in the stores bore the
brand of California mills and that
the tons of ham and bacon had the
brand of St. Louis, Chicago or Kan
sas City packers on the canvas which
covered them. Inquiry as to the
cause, revealed the fact that owing
to transportation regulations on the
railroad, flour from California can
be laid down cheaper than from Re-
no or Paradise Valley. 1t was also
ascertained, Notwithstanding the
fact that hogs will live on alfalfa
both Summer and Winter, and that
hogs fed on alfalfa during the Sum-
mer will make good pork if fed grain
six weeks in the Fall, that nearly
all the bacon ana hams used by the
farmers are imported. Evidently
there is something radically wrong
where a farming community, which
exports grain and alfalfa to Califor-
mia imports its flour from that State
and its bacon from east of the Mis-
souri,. Farmers, you know that is
not right, and you ought to endeav-
or to do better.
