not be doubted by any one who has at

celved by the article directly from the
hands of its natural opponcntsi''
But with one mastery, sweep Of his

and professions Of the dairymen, who &C
tually produce genuine butter and who
should be first to complain, and enters

ever that may be. He talks learAedly OF

utterly to mention the fact that the ole
ouargarine factory of the present day is
cleaner, as rule, than the average dairy

gets, also, that the laws Of this State
compel every manufacturer and yender

losses sight of the further fact that nine
tenths Of the consumers OF this horrible
product cannot distinguish its difference
from genuine except as to the price, which
