Can any one tell what dairying Is
lrifting to? We hear of all sorts of
Iueer nonstrosities, from lard cheese to
sotton-oil butter. No man knows what
he eats if he buys it. Stimulation is the
spirit of the age, and no end of science
and skill is employed to deceive. A
.lever imitation is what men prefer to
produce and the public are led TO de-
our. The simplicity of genuineness is
nut of the running, as things go in the
world. The public must eat what is
.Iven them, asking no questions. The
'leomargarine men must have done
.rrible lot of mischief, and offal is the
rod whom they delight to honor and eN-
lit. At all points they aim to circum-
-ent the dairymen and swindle the pub
ic.
The taste of the people is degraded
" sham butter and cheese, which seem
be real. Mems stomaehs, now-a-
. avs, are sepulchers for strange abomi-
lations which they ignorantly rather
han innocently swallow. This sort OF
hing is leading them they know not
yhither, and posterity will pay the piper.
It's no longer that which comes out of,
ut that which goeth into. the mouth
hat defiles. Meats and drinks of many
linds are not what they pretend to be,
md there is a good deal of ''trieks that
ire dark" in what pass for dairy goods.
Whose fault is this? Well, in great
art, the dairymen's, for they have
poiled good milk. They have given
N opening for the shoddy men of the
larry, who are growing rich out of offal.
he law complacently lets men sell what
they ike, and the sham is often enough
letter than the real one. Shoddy sells
veil enough to be carefully made, and
% the makers of counterfeit butter and
.heese do flourish. Dairy men who
make inferior butter and cheese, no
natter how real the goods may be, are
put of the running entirely. If only the
lalate of the public be suited, it matters
,ot if the article be real or pretended, so
.areless dairymen can hardly ''make
.nds meet and tie.n But one thing i
lear: The makers of really first-class
heese and butter can hold their own and
will hold their own against all the nefari-
Dus stuffthat is made in any and in every
country. weeding-out process is going
m, and goods which are mere simula-
tions will take the place so long occupied
by the products of milk that was spoiled.
/, then, the oleomargarine business, the
melted tallow and other less creditable
hings shall result in bringing about a
thorough reform in dairy methods, we
shall have reason after all to be grateful
o men for whom few of us entertain
feelings that approach to respect or af1ec-
ton. But let the public have fair pro-
lection, let them know what they buy:
then the dairymen viii win-if they want
to, and if they don't, the fault is their
own.-Prof. j. p. Sheldon, IN Prairi

Goldfish Balls, or Death.

There was singular case up for trial
in the Justices court the other day at
Sawtooth. The question to be decided
by the Justice was whether restaurant
keeper is justified in shooting man
for refusing to eat his Goldfish balls
The Judge of the law and Just ce decid-
ed yes. The case was as follows: The
proprietor of a Sawtooth restaurant
placed plate of Goldfish balls on the
table of a young man. and a regular
boarder, who had seated himself for
grub. The boarder was calmly and
peacefully slowing away the victuals
but didn't take in any of the Goldfish
balls.
The restaurant-keeper approached
him, and said in command ng tone OF
voice: 'You eat them Goldfish balls.
II don't like Goldfish balls,n replied
the boarder. .la.lVa
You eat them Goldfish balls. tell
your"
II tell you won't; don't like en- +"
81 tell you once more to eat them
Goldfish balls. If you don't I'll shoot
you;" and the restaurant-keeper started
for his pistol. The boarder saw that he
had to do one OF three things-eat the
Goldfish balls, refuse again and be filled
with leaden balls, or skip. He skipped.
just as his coat-tail was vanishing out
of the door the irate restaurant-k keeper
blazed away, but missed him. The
boarder had him arrested. The Justice
in his dignity, decided that the propri-
etor of a hash house YVES per ectly justi-
fable in shooting at boarder with in
