PURE BRED STOCK
IS NOW INTRODUCED
BY MEXICAN FARMERS
OHTOAUO. Jan 9.—-Introduction
ol pure bred American livestock
for the rehabilitation of Mexicar
agriculture has begun in a system
atic way, according to Guy . Hall
director of Ihe National Institute ol
Progressive Farming B. F. Abbott
a representative of the Mexican Atix
iliary of the Livestock (Registry As
social ions of the United States at
Mexico City, writes tihat Mexico is
stocking her vast plains with pure
breds, which probably will give Me*
ko a wealth greater than her mines
and oil wells, and add to the world's
food supply.
“Mexico is a potential market fot
American farm machinery, but in
the matter of tractors there is at
anomaly,” said Mr. Abbott. "There
are a number of tractors in Mexico—
Poncho Villa has two—but it is cost
ly to operate them. This is because
the price of gasoline is so high. With
tlie greatest oil fields in the world
Mexico is without rofinerios an 1
gasoline is imported.
"Government officials pledged thal
custom house difficulties at the bor
der would be eliminated and froigh'
rates reduced on all purebreds com
ing in under t<he guarantee of tho
registry association. This includes
the acceptance as final by Mexican
authorities of health certificate from
American veterinarians.”
F. W. Harding, secretary of the
registry associations and president
of th? American Shorthorn Breeders
Association, who is In active charge
of the export field for the associa
tions, i« optimistic over Mexico as
a market for purebreds, tractors and
farm machinery, and as a market fot
purebreds.

FRANCE TRYING TO
SUPPRESS ABSINTHE
i PARIS, Jan. 9. Illicit trade in ab
1 ' lithe has been an active industry
l In France far seven years, but the
I last of the bootleggers in this field
I will be driven to cover if a recent
decree of the President of the re
public is made effective,
j Since the law of March 18, 1915,
I prohibiting absinthe, anil its substi
tutes, users of this brain destroying!
drink and the caterers to their tastes
have evaded the law by a pretended'
ignorance as to what is an absinthe
substitute.
There was much agitation against
absinthe in France previous to the
war, and during the war it was pro
•hibited. Then there appeared a num
ber of substitutes. The old-fashioned
! absinthe contained 72 per cent of
alcohol, while the substitutes varied
. from 25 to CO per cent. Sometimes
the real thing is sold today in old
'j bottles at 50 to 100 francs each,
i smuggled over from Belgium or Lux
embourg, where absinthe is still sol !
over tile bar.
Last July a law was voted defining
exactly what is mean by an absinthe
substitute. Then the pure food bu
reau of the ministry of agriculture,
through Premier Poincare, submitted
the matter to President Mlllorand,
i and he has issued a decree intended
to remove from public sale all of
, these substitute products.
The National Prohibition League
has issued a statement, however, de
claring that the definition of sub-'
! ‘-■titutes does net define, and that in'
! realty the manufacturers of near-ab-j
: sinthe have won a victory. The
> revenue officers engaged in preveut
; ing frauds, on the other hand, assert
that absinth’ has become a rarity,
i with manufacturers, afraid to sell it.
