Many primroses are killed every year

Contrary to what many seem to think,
fern trouds should not be kept wet much

To induce esrly blooming in jilly flow

bloom over long season, don't hesitate
to give the plants ample sized pots.
Tuberose Bulbs.-If you cannot provide
a nice. warm and dry place for these dur

out of doors. There is no trouble to keep

about these plants not Towering is to be
explained upon these grounds. Some
times the question is heard. "Will the old

them all. Your poor people will need

Impure Butter.

The supreme court of New York has
recently decided that the law against
selling oleomargarine, unless labelled as
such, is constitutional. This law was
passed in Montana last winter and is ex-
actly the same as that of New York. AS
police regulation its enforcement
should rest upon good reasons. The law
prohibits the manufacture and sale OF
deceptive, impure or fraudulent milk,
butter and cheese. Pure and whole
some milk is the result of wholesome
food and pure water. 1t is fallacy to
suppose that cow can give pure milk
if kept upon sour, dirty or otherwise un-
wholesome food and drink. The effect
of onions or garlic in the cows food may
be more noticeable in the milk than that
of swill, but is no more certain. No
wonder that the mortality of children is
80 great when we know how SO much of
the milk they must consume is pro-
duced Swill and garbage from hotels,
andEmalt and distillers' slops from brew
cries and distilleries sour, rotten, filthy,
disgusting stufI-is the food which the
COW, daintiest and cleanest of all animals,
is forced in many cases to eat or starve;
and, instead of natures elixir of life, the
very bane of death, at the bidding ofun-
holy greed, streams into the milkman's
pail. The law prohibits under penalty
the use of such food for cows, and the
people will say the law is right. The
law prohibits the adulteratlon of butter
and cheese. Those in butter are known
as butterine and oleomargarine But
terine is made from lard and oleomar-
garine from tallow. These substances
are prepared by the use of chemicals.
such as sulphuric acid and vitrol to deo-
dorize them. These harmful chemicals
can no more be entirely removed from
the lard than buttermilk can from but
ter They are poisonous, and, although
diluted, their effect upon the stomach is
injurious. The absence of heat in pre-
pairing the lard and tallow leaves para
site germs, such as trichina, tape worm,
etc, unframed.
