not. Let it stand upon its own merits.
and let those have it who call for it, and
those who want butter have the genuine
article.
This matter has been ventilated recent
" in hearing before the Health Commit
tee of New York The State chemist was
one Of the persons called before the board.
He stated that he had analysed samples of
butter purchased from thirty groeers in
New York and Brooklyn and found that
all but ten Of them were imitation. In
every instance the product was bought as
pure dairy butter at prices ranging from
twenty-five to thirty-two cents pound.
and no sign that it was otherwise was to
be seen On the tub. In fifteen of the
samples no proportion at all of genuine
butter was to be found. and in the remain
der the pure article was only from two to
fifteen per cent.
II was difficult, he said, to distinguish
oleomargarine from butterine simply by
appearance, and it was equally difficult
for any but an expert to tell either OF them
from pure butter. In the samples analysed
he found nothing rancid. no evidence OF
nitric acid. and he could see nothing in
furious in the article if pure ingredients
were used in making it. The fat in it
was no more difficult to digest than fat in
many other forms, and he had no
authenticated evidence of any person be-
ing made sick from its use.
Much other evidence was introduced.
all Of which went to show that there is a
large amount of fraudulent butter man. |
ufactured and sold as genuine butter and
that the business is growing.
Beside the injustice which is done to
those who are served with the imitation
article when they demand. pay for. and
suppose they have received genuine but
ter, is the injury which is done by this
spurious business to honest manufacturers
Of good butter The manufacturers of
he spurious butter can undersell them in
The market and still have a round profit |
Tor themselves. Unless this fraudulent
work is stopped it will put an end to hon
EST dairving. lard will be the principal in
5redient Of the butter (so-called) placed
,pon our tables, and hogs instead of cows
will be needed to supply the demand for
,utter. Every farming community has an
interest in this matter and should do what
can to protect itself against the fraud.

Calhoun's Love of 'Possum.

Somehow or other all these great
men had their peculiarities about what
they wanted to eat There was Mr..
Calhoun, who always had his 'possum
and sweet potatoes when he could get
them He used to say to me: Now,
Steve, you get me nice fat 'possum,
cook it the day after it is killed, parboil
it, then put it in a hot oven with boiled
yam potatoes laid around it in the
oven and then let it slowly brown. II
you can get coon, Steve, you make
plenty of coon gravy, very brown, and
pour it over the 'possum, and don't
fail to have the 'possum well favored
with pepper, salt and sage. Well, sir,
you just ought to see Mr.. Calhoun sit
down to dish of 'possum with coon
gravy. He wasn't big man, but he
was mighty thin, and there was plenty
of room about his vest. He would
make that 'possum very sick before he
got through with it. He used to say
that it reminded him of old South Car
olina to eat 'possum, and that's the
reason he liked it so well. Many time
he's told me about going out 'possum
hunting at night with colored boys and
dogs and an ak, freeing the 'possum,
cutting the tree down and roasting the
'possum before log fire.-Baltimore

The Story of HerOism Related by Jeemes
Darby, the Injun Fighter.
"Yes," said old man Sapphira, drag
ging box up to the stove, in the coun-
try store, and loading in fresh chew
of tobacco, ssyes, Jeems Darby wuz a
powerful Injun fighter. You know, in
them days it wuz fashionable among
the redskins to roast a feller at the
stake, and they he'd it in fur Jeemes ef
they ever kotch him. He fit aroun' fur
nigh onto five years, an killed about
two dozen Nv 'em, an, NV course, thet
didn't make m love Jeemes any better.
Finally, one day, they slipped up on
him, and, after lively scrimmage, they
took him in. They wuz the gladdest
set NV redskins you ever see, an they
made bigger hullabuloo over Darby
than folks does now over a
Presidential candidate. Jeemes WASH t
no coward, an he tuck his mis-
fortin' az cool az he could under the
circumstances, an watched 'em
gittin' ready. He knowed it wuz goin'
to be picnic and barbecue, an he wuz
goin' to be called on to furnish the
meat, but it didn't skeer him much.
When they wuz ready they yanked
Jeems up to the post an hitched him
to it tight an fetched on their kindlin'
wood. Then they lit it with some leaves
an powder flashed on to 'em an the
blaze began to shoot up purity lively.
Jeemes scrunched an struggled. cause
fire is hot even on brave mans legs,
but he never hollered. In a few min
utes the blaze was creepin' up one side
Nv him an the other wuz not much
hurt Jeemes noticed it, an jist ez
cool ez if he wuz at Delmonico din
ner, he sung out:
Look h'ar, yer skulkin' heathen;
stir up the fire on 'tother side. Jeemes
Darby never did like rare meat, an he
don't want it half done now
THAT wuz whatI call heeroism, boys,
an Jeemes orter had better luck than
to be cooked fur a redskin picnic"
"You don't believe that story, do
you?" asked one of the listeners.
'.In course do. Jeemes told it to
me hisself, an Jeemes wouldn't lie. -

Those languid, tiresome sensations, causing
you to feel scarcely able to be on your feet;
that constant drain that is taking from your

Bile and fretful, can easily be removed by the
use of that marvellous remedy, Hop Bittcrs.
Irregularities and distractions of your sys-

none are so profoundly grateful, and show
