Look Out for Swindlers.

The crop of swindlers working in
the farming districts this year seems
to be greater than ever this spring.
Here are two of the latest. A num-
Der of men are working in different
states selling stock remedy on this
plan. They appoint a local agent
and offer to supply him with a stock
of the remedy to be paid for after it
is sold, but they require a signature
to contract ordering about 500
worth of the stuff to be shipped pre-
paid. AT the end of month the
farmer agent is notified that he is in
debted to the concern for the amount
of the contract. (Which by the way is
in the hands of the swindler, the for
mer agent having given no duplicate),
and suit is brought for smaller
amount so as to keep it in a lower
court. The farmer generally pays or
compromises. The other swindler
offers to set out an acre or more of
trees and take half his pay from the
crops of fruit. His scheme is to ask
about one half more than the trees
are worth on the plea that they are
some new and wonderful variety and
he nee are sold at half (?) price, the
other half to be paid, as stated, from
the fruit. Suffice it to say this swind-
Ter having collected his price for the
trees, which are generally of inferior
sorts, never turns up for his sharel of
the crops. Better confine purchases
to local dealers or to men who adver-
tise in papers of reliability and let
general agents with wonderful propo-
sitions alone.
