The government of New South Wales

restrictions and safeguards which are
placed about the killing of different
food animals. In addition to insuring
the greatest measure of cleanliness in
the matter of handling the dressed
meats, the law provides two years i'm
prisonment for the person slaughtering
a diseased animal, while it prescribes
a still longer term for the one who
sells diseased meat. Twelve hours no.

slaughter, and in case no such notice

be imposed.

While their presence along the Dor

People appreciate a square zeal even
though they don't always mention the
fact. If you want your patrons to
hunt you up instead of your seeking

your dealings whether you are selling
a load of hay or a pound of butter.
You know how much you yourself ap-
preciate a good measure in buying

The following figures give some idea
of the remarkable growth which has
been made in the rice growing indus
try in this country during the past few
years: In 1900 there were raised in
the United States 253,00O,OOO pounds
of commercial rice, in 1903 the figure
was 525,000,000 pounds, while in 1904
the output was 5S6,OO0,OOO pounds.
The major portion of this country's
rice crop is grown in the states Of
Louisiana and Texas, where large
areas of heretofore practically useless
land have been broken up, irrigated
and devoted to rice culture.
