pays $3.50. 900. 900 annually for medical
attendance, omitting entirely the

recently purchased 300 poor lambs
and fed them forty days. AT the
end of that time | sold them for IA
profit of S2OS.92. If my crops turn
out well next year, | hope to feed
about 900 lambs. But, in my es-
timation, the hog industry is far
superior to the lamb industry.
Why? Because there is less work
attached to it, and they bring in
as much money. During the past
year I have made 81 100 in hogs
alone, and have about IS left to
sell. l simply turn them out on
the peas and they do the rest. If
/ have good luck, | will clear in
the neighborhood of S1,7OO on
hogs, this year" Mr.. Pursley, in
starting in the sheep and hog bus
mess, had had no farm experience
for fourteen years, and went into
it merely to see what he could do.
To-day he is among the foremost
ranchers whose interests are in

Fraud i'm Pure Food Regulation.

Even the pure food law is utiliza j
for frauds. When man or woman
goes into a grocery or drug, store an
purchases an article of food or medi
cine the label of which bears the
statement that the article is 'guaran
teed by the government of the United
States" that purchaser is the victim OF
a deliberate fraud. Nevertheless sucf
pretended government guarantees
are found on a great many article:
that are being sold since the passage
of the pure food law.
Instead of the government guaran
teeing drugs and foods manufacturer
under the provisions and regultions O
the pure food law. the manufacturer
himself, is the one who is bound by
law TO make the guarantee, and tht
trick of attempting to switch the re
spOnsibility to the shoulders of thu
government is nothing less than lie
liberate fraud on its face, and as sucl
should be punished.
1t is said the department of agricul
ture will shortly make a move to pm
an end to this kind of fraud, it having
come to the notice of the governmen
that a number of manufacturers o
foods and drugs were freely adverti9
ing in the newspapers and magazine!
that the United States governmel
was guaranteeing their products
whereas it is the guarantee of thu
manufacturer and not the guarantee o
the government.
This evasion is said to be practice
mostly by dishonest manufacturers an
| when buyer sees a label of that kin:
| he is justified in refusing to purchas
that specific article. Honest manufaC
turers are not afraid to guarantee thei
own products, as they have alway
done in the past.
