San Francisco, June l4.-Asa W,
Fisk of Boston, son of the late noted
money-lender of this city has brought
suit to have his fathers estate held in
trust until certain claims amounting
to 81 ,009, ,O64, have been settled. Fisk
saws that when his father left Boston
in early days to come to California he
took with him the claimants savings
amounting to Sls7.5o. He alleges that
this formed the basis for the money
lenders fortune and that it was agreed
the money should be invested in the
sons favor. The latter claims that
this money, loaned at the rate of in,
terest usually charged by his deceased
father, would now amount to 1854, ,36d
He makes further claim against the
estate for St4t,696, which he says his
father lost by injudicious investment
in Tacoma lands. The claimant was
cut off in his fathers will, hence the

Adu,ssrss.d Condensed Mn..

IN the British Dairy Farmer OF
March 10th there Is a short article on
condensed milk. Quoting from a let
It says:
In a daily contemporary state
ment is made to the effect that the in
creasing imports of condensed milk
prove that our home herds are INSULT
cient tc yield an adequate supply OF
milk, ETC., to which the Anglo-Swiss
people reply as follows: viii you al
low us to say that, as far as condensed
milk is concerned, this conclusion Is
quite erroneous? There are two rea-
sons why so much foreign milk Is
brought into England. In the nrst
place the public seems to be imnueo
with what Mr.. Herbert Spencer calls
the "anti-patriotic bias" and prefer
foreign goods simply because they
are foreign, buying Swiss milk wnen
they could obtain for less money Eng
lish milk OF equally good duaiity. sec
ondly, our laws permit condensed skim
milk to be sold under the misleading
name OF condensed milk" so that
our poorer classes are inveigled INTO
buying fraudulent article, at many
times It's value, to the injury OF Doth
themselves and the English agricul-
tural community. That our relai'
dealers are themselves awakening to
the iniauity of this law appears from
q speech made In Manchester only the
other day by the chairman OF the
Northern Grocers' Council, who had
the courage to say that those who buy
this milk ought to be made clearly
aware that the milk had peen
skinned. and that 1t Is not mt for
children. 1t Is time that every Eng
lish housewife knew that full cream

and at only trife more than German
Dutch and Italian condensed skim
milk, deprived Of Its most Valuable
cons.ituent--the cream.
We are not, says Elgin Dairy Re
port, sufficiently well posted on tne
amount of skim condensed milk that
has been placed upon the market In
this country, but presume there is con-
siderable condensed milk sold that mas
been SKINNED either partially or
wholly. This is only one of the evils
Of our lax legislation ON the question
Of adulterated food, and 1t may be that
this may be the reason why the New
York Condensed Milk Co., in their
contract at Elgin last month, were
Obliged to cut off so many of the farm
srs; as It Is a we'll known fact that
their brands are always honest and
straight, and they cannot meet tha'
kind of competition. II this 10 the
case, 1t again proves the statement
hat we have so often made. that thu
farmers as the food producers are thu
ones who suffer from the sale OF adul
