Mr. Anderson, a prominent New AOlE commits

butter good grain, clean and free from I'M
purities on tho trier. The fact that the tricr

'Butter, and Butterine" is tho title Of O. paper
read by Joseph Lampson Of Storm Lake, Iowa.
He said the imitation of creamory butter is SO
very perfect that even experts are puzzled in
deciding as to what is butter and what is but
t%erine, when samples are placed before them

by us with a view OF moatiug and
combating not only this evil, but
all othors of q kindred nature.
Fust-All who are interested in farming and
farm industries, whether directly engaged in
the dairy business or not, ought to unite IN de
handing that a national law be enacted cover
food of authorizations, somewhat similar TO
the laws of France and England on the same
subject

or roamery system must be fo-tare3, encour-

must furnish this butter at a fair low price.
Ihird-I4o people must be taught what
good butter is by having plenty OF 1t offered to
them at a fair price. In addition to this a
great work of public education must be done
through the newspapers and journals OF our
land, bearing upon this bread and butter ques-
ton.
