product Of fish farms sells in the market at 81 a

law. 1t has long been a disputed question as
to whether man had legal right or NOT TO

Eastern ocean ports where agents of foreign
companies forward the products TO Belgium

horses bought for slaughter are ola, MANNED,
blind and halt, and are consequently very
cheap. The plants spoken of are said to be
thoroughly equipped with machinery of modern
manufacture and sausage meat Is ground out
in immense quantities. The State Legislature,

the flesh OF the animals from being made
