Farmers on Imitation Butter.-The last
meeting of the Deer Greek Farmers Club was
held at the residence OF Judge James d. Waters,
when the question whether imitation butter
should be prohibited by law or not, was discussed
at some length. Upon the subject Judge Waters
said that in plain English the question is, should
fraud be legaized? In that shapeit answers itself.
Butter is an animal product. 1t is the result of the
action of vital forces, and it is self evident that it
is impossible to produce it by chemical process
Anything produced by chemical action is simply
an imitation, a counterfeit. A chemist can no
more make butter than he can make COW. The
only value oleomargarine, butterine, &C., have is
in their resemblance to butter. 1t is argued that
if these substances are not unwholesome and you
can't detect the difference between them and gen.
une butter by taste and smell, they are just the
same rs butter. The answer to this is simply,
they are not butter. You might as we'll say that
because You can't detect the difference between a
counterfeit note and good money the counterfeit is
as good as the other. If the country were flooded
with counterfeit money, unsettling the business
interests of the country and destroying the conf
dence in banks, you would not hear it said in
Congress that tax ought to be put on counter
felt money to protect banks. 1t seems absurd
folly to talk about taxing imitation butter. Judge
Waters idea was to absolutely prohibit the man.
ufacture and sale of imitation butter by law, be-
cause it is counterfeit and intended to deceive.
The farmer don't ask to be protected against COM
petition in the manufacture of butter, but against
fraud. If the farmer will consent to the principle
of protection for his butter, he must acknowledge
the justice of protection for every other manufac
ture. The question is whether the community
ought to be protected against fraud. All imita-
tions of butter are counterfeits all counterfeits
are Frauds and all frauds ought to be prohibited
by law.

Baltimore's Picturesque suburbs.-The

Baltimore's Picturesque Suburbs.-The
San says: "Baltimoreans visiting Philadelphia,
who happen to extend their wanderings to the
Wissahickon and the charming country in the
vicinity of Germantown and Chestnut Hill, are
apt to envy their Quaker City neighbors the
possession of such delightful suburban homes as
are scattered all over the face of the c1untry in
the vicinity of the Schuylkill and its picturesque
tributary for many miles. 1t occurs to but few of
them, probably, that their own city has within
easy reach quite as charming bits of scenery and
fully as advantageous locations for rural homes.
Stony run is the name of charming little stream
emptying into Jones's falls near Mount Vernon.
1t is quite familiar to pedestrians from the north
ern portions of the city and we'll known to trav-
eers on the Maryland Central Railroad, which
runs for some distance along one side of the
stream The suggestion is made that a drive
might be constructed along the east bank, which
would in measure reproduce the beauties of the
famous Wissahickon drive, which forms one of
the greatest attractions of suburban Philadelphia"
The Suns project looks very well on paper only.
The only portion of the east bank of Stony run
that could be converted into drive is that between
Remington avenue and Cold Spring lane, the dis
lance being less than q mile. The railroad on the
west bank of the run would render the drive a
dangerous one if the road were placed on the east
side, and the run itself is little more than small
spring stream with only here and there spot of
some natural beauty. Such road would be about
as near like the Wissahickon drive as is the water
