One of the salesmen of Becker mau's Peerless Horso & Cattle Powder has in tho lust three months soon aud taken tho names of eighty one different brands of cattle powder and only oneof them was a ten cent package and it only weighed a half pound and we be lieve you would agree with us that Peerless Powder at 10c a pound pack is as good as any of them if you could try them all. Tho profit for the merchant on Peerless Powder is not large. Iu fact so small that many of the drug stores will not handle it which we believe is quite a re comendation for it.
