from the feed and to send receipt
for our account. but on the 2Srd
inst. we had letter from them ac-
knowledging ours of the 14th, ex-
pressing regrets that we did not find
the feed satisfactory and that we had
certainly gotten some benefit from
the rs pounds that we had fed and
that we ought to be willing to pay
for same, that at the price the food
is listed at, the rs pounds would
be $1,000. but, they said, If l would
send them $3.50 they would credit
my account in full. While they did
not make a demand for this amount
in this letter they requested it, and
we do not know what trouble we
may have in getting the matter set
tied. We are writing them by cur
rent mail that We are already out
more money than we have gotten
value received for. and to send us
receipt according to their original
promise.
We trust that The Progressive
Farmer and Gazette will continue
the good work already commenced
by not only excluding patent medi-
cine and continental stock food ads
from their columns as well as all
other fake ads, but continue the fight
until all other agricultural and re-
ligious journals at least exclude them
from their papers. There is no esti-
