the genuine product of the dairy has justly caused
much di,at, faction on the part of farmers engaged
in the production of butter. Chapter 4lj Of the

RAILROAD TRANSPORTATION.
The constantly increasing development OF railroad
facilities enhances the Importance OF fair and just
regulation of freight traffic. While, to a certain ex
tent. the competition of rival lines relieves many
localities Of cmba1Tassments formerly suffered, vet
the continuous lsorptiOn Of the carrying trade by
rail ways renders the effect o marked discrimination
in ra e. all the more injurious 10 those against whom
II operates. Experience demonstrates that increased
