RAISINS FOR HOGS.
Alleged Scheme of an Omaha Pack
ing Concern

FRESNO. Aug 23.-It is understood that
the Cudahy Packing Company of Omaha
has offered to advance money irresponsible to
vineyardists in this section with which to
purchase hogs TO eat the raisin crop on the

money raised to pay labor expenses for
curing the raisins, and the unsettled con-
diton of the raisin market makes il neces-
sary that no chances be taken by the
grower. Several vineyardists are reported
to have accepted this plan of disposing of
their raisins and many more will likely do
the same.
