wish you would use." so here it is:
"A large flock Of sheep passed
through our town one day last week,
a thrifty looking flock, feast for the
eyes, and it made one feel that old
times were being revived for it was a
common sight in. earlier years, and
upon every little farm one passed
along the way would be seen a goodly
number. In those days the mothers
used the spinning wheel and the loom
Your correspondent recalls a loom, in

A. NJ. G. Soule, chief of the Inspec-
tiop Bureau Of the Department of Ag-
riculture. reports that the dealers are
freely sending in samples Of the cot
tonseed meal, to take advantage Of the
departments offer of free analysis.
He also says that a large number OF
these samples are not up to the re-
quirements Of the Pure Food law. The
dealers are cooperating we'll with the
bureau and Mr.. Soule hopes to have
the market relieved of the inferior
brands and none but the best furnish
ed our Maine farmers.
Before the complete analysis Of the
samples Is made, the result Of the find
ing of proteins is reported to the deal
er sending the sample, with recon-
mendation as to how it may be dis
posed of, in a legal manner.
The bureau is sending to all the
dealers in the State blanks, which,
when returned with samples Of the
food stuffs, will give it's name, the
manufacturer minimum per cent. OF
protein and fat and maximum of crude
fibre. with the dealers name. The law
requires that every brand Of feeding
stuff shall be registered with the COM
missioner of agriculture, a manufac-
turers certificate filed and registra-
ton of $40 paid. A chemical analysis
shall also show that each brand is up
to the requirements.
The bureau, in order to ascertain X
the law is being fully complied with,
takes samples through it's inspectors.
but to gain the cooperation of the
dealers has adopted the plan Of Offer
ing free analysis for all samples sub
mitted by the Dealers If the article is
found below the standard, the dealer
is notified, with recommendation as to
remedying the trouble. If it is 20. r.
| he is notified that it is above guaran-
tee and may be placed on the market.
! AS the commissioner Of agriculture
of Maine holds an appointment from
the federal government which gives
authority to take samples, which enter
| into interstate commerce. and submit
them together with data, to the United
States department OF agriculture, IN
the case of fraud or misrepresentation,
cases may be entered against the snip
pers instead Of the dealers.

am in favor of this and am sending

should be, three judges, another sug-

the only way by which competent

whom he knows to be qualified to Judge
in this important matter and who will
give it the proper amount Of time and
study. Am therefore sending in my

a wooden leg does that keep me from
winning something? 10 a man with a
glass eye debarred from guessing? If
my neighbors dog had the mango be-
fore this contest was started IL that
any reason. why the spring election
should not be changed? Does one
eyed man have to look twice to see
what man with two sees? Does any
body have to repeat the preamble to
the constitution Of these United States
backward in order to stand any chance
to win? It seems to me these ques-
tions are on par with soihe Of the
correspondence that you have permit
ted to take up your space. Here's
hoping someone gats something.
