many supposedly malicious poison
ing, by some enemy or neighbor, was
probably caused by the sale of the
poison cookie.
These are but a few examples. The
farmer nowadays lives a Balaklava-
like existence with fakings to right Of
him, fakings to left of him, in front of
him, all about him; and the kind which
consists of selling a thing which is
really worth something, but which the
plausible salesman sets forth as being
worth many times its value, is exceed
ingly difficult to meet, for it is hard to
prove actual fraud.
A cruel feature too with these fakes
is that so great proportion of them
