DAIRY PRODUCTS.
A Circular ISSUED by the Commits

Commissioner Colman, beng anxious to
obtain all the facts possible pertaining to the
dairy industry of the country, and particu-
larly respecting the manufacture of articles
designed as substitutes for pure butter, such
as oleomargarine, butterine, suine, purola
and like compounds, has prepared and sent
out a circular to manufacturers of dairy
products soliciting their aid. 1t is his wish to
place before Congress and the countrya com
plete statement of the factory product of
cheese and butter, as well as of their adu-
terated limitations. To this end he suggests
the propriety of making monthly records of
the work of each manufacturer, in order that
returns may be obtained more readily for
such time as may be deemed best to aggre-
gate the result. October he says being
the month when cheese making declines
1t may be decided to have all the returns of
butter and cheese production terminate then,
allowing six months for the dairy season.
This would better determine the comparative
production of one State with another, as in
the summer months the conditions of fool
Will be more uniform, the cows consuming
