The general assembly is in a fair. way
to make things warm for manufacture

Baker, Of Chesterfield, is looking into
the matter, and has made some investi-
cation of the stuff sold for cattle food,
and is convinced that some of the pro-
duct contains such things as peanut
bulls, sawdust, rice hu1ls, pyrites and
other ingredients which are absolutely in
furious.
The State is the dumping-ground for
all sorts Of impure products, said Cap

these products, and will seek to have an

THE business men Of the city to whom
have mentioned the matter are heartily
in favor Of the measure It will take a
small appropriation, the work to be done
by the fertilizer inspectors. The manu-
facturers Of pure stuffs will not object to
the proposition and it will be a move for
tho protection of the farmers and the
public.

poiscns that are consumed by the people

matter is one which think the members

say that the various prepared foods sold
