THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER. 



March 



impractical. The eleo men hire lobbyists 

 by the score to block the progress of all leg- 

 islation them. Will the dairymen pay the 

 :small sum of one dollar to help the National 

 Dairy Union ? It seems to us that not to 

 ■do this is unwise and unpatriotic. 



There are three simple ways for every 

 dairyman to make himself effective : 



1. He should write a postal card to his 

 member of congress and to each of the sena- 

 tors of his state, asking them to support the 

 "Grout bill. Ask them to defend you against 

 a. fraud and counterfeit. 

 ■ 2. Also write a postal card to your mem- 

 het of the state assembly and senate calling 

 for state laws against this fraud. It is the 

 number of atoms in tliis postal card snow 

 storm that will tell. Every farmer can add 

 to its weight. Don't fail to do it. 



3. Send the small sum of one dollar to 

 the National Dairy Union to help make up 

 the sinews of war in this fight. Do this all 

 over the land and the butter counterfeiters 

 will hear something drop inside the next 90 

 days. If you wish, send your contribution 

 to Hoard's Dairymen, Fort Atkinson, Wis., 

 and we will acknowledge receipt of same 

 and forward it to the treasurer. Do all 

 three of these things and thus organize —
