Imitation and Real Butter.

DR.. T. II. Hoskins says, in the Rurdt
Ne,U Yorker: Imitation butter con-
tinues to be made and sold, and will so
continue, unless something better is
offered at the same price. | talk with
every dairyman | meet on the subject,
for the purpose of hearing how they
view it, and | am proud, as farmer,
of the intelligence and common-sense
of what they say about it.
What they ask, and all they ask, is that
the fictitious buffers shall be sold for
what they are. This can be had by
law, if no more is attempted. If more
is attempted, we shall get nothing"
This agrees with our experience, so far
as good butter makers are concerned,
and there are great many such in Yer
mont. We believe that farmers who
make poor, unstable dairy goods are
the ones who are feeling most injured
by the manufacturers of imitation
goods. They must find somebody to
blame for their own i'll success, and the
oleo men are their scape-goat. 1t is a
pity it is true, but it IS true that our
dairymen who have so long sent mis-
cradle product to market under the
name of butter, which nobody wanted
to eat, have deserved this lesson which
the imitation butter manufacturers
have been teaching. The average
quality of the butter in market has for
years been steadily improving, as in
telligence regarding its manufacture is
being diffused by means of the influ-
ence of the agricultural press and the
dairy associations. Editor Cheerer, IN

The OleOmargarine Question.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican,
in long article under the above title,
says:
"The strongest ground for levying
tax and imposing government regu-
lation upon oleomargarine is the fact
that it is sold to large extent for what
it is not. The poorer people in our
manufacturing towns undoubtedly con-
sumo it as satisfactory substitute for
butter, paying from twelve to twenty
cents pound therefor. The fraudu-
lent nature of the product is the only
certain ground for governmental inter-
ference. No grocer puts out on single
or advertises in the newspapers Best
oleomargarine, right from the factory
The feeling that fortunes have been
made by the resemblance of the arti-
fetal butter to the real, and that the
poor are charged butter prices for oleo
products has stimulated the legislative
crusade. The real effect of the COM
petition upon the dairy interest has, we
believe, been greatly overestimated.
Ninety or ninety-five per cent of the
people of this country were brought up
to eat butter and will continue to eat
butter-butter made from the cream of
cows milk. The minority who will &C
cept a substitute either would not eat
butter at all or would eat only the
poorest and cheapest"

Farm and Garden Notes.

PROFESSOR ATwATER says that in
pint of milk and pint of oysters there
is the same amount of nutriment. The
oysters contain more heterogeneous mat
ter, the milk more fat.
FARM AND GARDEN says that the
legal rate of interest on farm securities
should be four per cent. No doubt it
would be if farmers would always pay
their interest as promptly as Uncle Sam
does his.
A DIsINFECTANT destroys the organic
germs; deodorizer destroys or neu-
tralizes offensive odors, and an antisep-
tic prevents or retards putrefac ton. 1t
is said that sulphurous acid combines
all these properties in the best form.
IT may be safely put down by dairy
farmers that if they want more butter
they must feed grain for it. Scientific
experiments also appear to corroborate
the common farm dictum that " bran
makes milk and meal makes butter"

says that he has fed for three seasons

Opinions on the Oleo Question.


We have had no more Vermont
opinions sent to us, and no new facts,
other than those we print elsewhere
this week from various sources, have
come to hand The following clippings
from the agricultural press may be in
teresting:
THE policy of utter prohibition of
cleo manufacture may be questionable,
but there can be no doubt as to the
Justice of compelling oleo to be sold
honestly instead Of by fraud.-Home-
stead.
THERE is an increasing amount of
sensible talk about cleo. The vituper-
alive, imprisoned, abusive style of
writing seems to be going by and more
reason has taken its place. Calm ar
guments will carry more weight than
mud-throwing-a fact that it would be
well to ever have in naturalization
Whitaker Of the Ne,o England Farmer.
WHATEVER the theorists or politi-
clans may say about bogus butter, the
fact remains that, in our market, it is
much easier to sell good butter than it
was before the discussion became so
warm. We can sell all the butter we
can make at fair price, and the more
bogus butter there is on the market
the closer our customers appear to
stick.-Rurdl NelC Yorker.
WE fain would offer to our dairy
men a word of warning lest they place
too much dependence upon the law (;
their best and only dependence must
be on the quality of their product. AS
long as goodly proportion of the but
ter in the country consists of stuff that
the cow is ashamed of, and that people
cannot, or what is the same in effect,
will not, eat, the substitutes will have a
show.-The Farmer, Minneapolis, MINI.
WE demand law regulating its
manufacture, so that it shall be in
nocuous to health and put up so as to
be distinguished and then sold for just
what it is. If the dairy interests OF this
country cannot compete with an honest
substitute for butter, then let them go
to the wall. They have no more right to
ask for any restrictions on the manufac-
ture of any competing substance than
have the manufacturers of iron; nor do
they ask for any such. We ask for only
what every honest man has right to
demand of the government-protection
against fraud and false pretences-and
these are the pillars on which rest the
whole bogus butter trade. s. Wood

Household Hints.

WHEN a wash-boiler begins to rust,
and is still too good to cast aside, make
good-sized bag of strong muslin or old
bed-ticking, put the clothes to be boiled
into it, and so save them from rust.
BEFORE using new earthenware place
in a boiler with cold water, and heat
gradually till it boils; then let it remain
till the water is cold. 1t will not be
liable to crack if treated in this manner.
SWEEPING the carpet with a damp
ened broom, or rolling the dust over
with damp cloth and sweeping after
it, prevents the dust from injuring fine
furniture. Some cover the furniture
previous to sweeping, but it is seldom
done effectually. After sweeping a
carpet with dampened broom, it should
be gone over with sweeping brush, in
order to gather up small rolls of fluff
that escape the broom.

Tea and Tobacco.

A leading newspaper says, as a mat
ter of scientific news, that tobacco
blindness is becoming common afflic-
ton. AT present there are several per-
sons under treatment for it at one
London hospital. 1t first takes the
form of color blindness, the sufferers
who have smoked themselves into this
condition being quite unable to dis
tinguish the color of piece of red
cloth held up before them. Sometimes
the victim loses his sight altogether.
Although smoking is, to large extent,
the cause of the malady, heavy drink
ing is also partly responsible.
In regard to tea, the Popular Sci
ence Monthly says: 1T is a we'll
recognized fact that persons who are
prone to nervous excitement of the cir
culation and palpitations of the heart
have these symptoms greatly aggra-
waited if they persist in the use of tea or
coffee as a beverage. The excessive
consumption of tea among the women
of the poorer classes is the cause of
much of the so-called 'heart COM
plants among them. The food of
those poor women consists largely of
starchy substances (bread and butter
chiefly, together with tea, i. e., a food
accessory which is one of the greatest
of all retarders of the digestion of
starchy food"
DIR. w. w. Billiard says, in a medical
journal, that chronic tea poisoning is
a frequent affection, the most common
symptoms of which are loss of appetite,
dyspepsia, palpitation, headache, vom-
iting and nausea, combined with nerv-
BUSINESS and historical and neuralgia
affections, frequently accompanied by
constipation and pain about the heart.
Among adult women the average
amount needed to cause poisonous
symptoms is little less than five cups
daily, but the young and weak are
more easily affected.
We once ourself treated marked
case of delirium tremens in a highly
cultured woman, due solely to excess
i've tea-drinking. 1t did not differ, in
its symptoms, from the same delirium
from alcohol, except that it was more
difficult to control and was followed by
even greater prostration, with more
tardy recovery.

BOYS and Girls.

Dear Friends Of the HousehOM:-We
want to call the attention of the dear
boys and girls who have access to this
paper to some of those important minor
details which often illustrate the char
acter of the individual, particularly to
those customs relating to the family
board. Here, certainly, the influence
should be such as to ennoble and refine.
We have oftentimes been annoyed by
the apparent greed of some who evil
IDENTITY think that the table is the place
where the greatest amount of food
should be swallowed in the least posi-
BILE time. OF course this is an erroneous
view and indicates lack of culture.
While it is proper to begin to eat as
soon as the food is passed, we do not
like to see people rush at it in now
or-never spirit. Enter upon it quietly,
and courteously remember that your
friends have some claims which should
be recognized. Don't cut your meat
with your elbows in such position
that you interfere with your neighbours
progress, and don't spread your butter
with the force you would use in polish
ing a collar. Don't eye the table as if
searching for the daintiest morsel.
Above all, don't help yourself to food
some distance from you, even if you
are blessed with long arms. And now,
fearing the dear boys and girls will lose
all patience, we will end this chapter of
don'ts." A FRIEND OF THE HOME.

OleOmargarine.

Professor w. O. Atwater of Wesleyan
University, Middletown, Conn, has a
review of this subject in the commercial
publication, " Bradstreet's," in which
he states the following conclusions:
~ The common kinds of imitation
er-oleomargarine butterine, etc.
when properly made, agree very closely
in chemical composition, digestibility
and nutritive value with butter from
cows milk. (2) In fulfilling one of
the most important functions of food
namely, that of supplying the body with
heat and muscular energy-they, with
butter, excel in efficiency all, or nearly
all, our other common food materials.
(3) Considering the low cost at which
they can be produced, as well as their
palatability and nutritive value, they
form a food product of very great eco
nomical importance, and one which is
calculated to greatly benefit a large
class of our population whose limited
incomes make good dairy butter lux
ury. (4) Imitation butter, like many
tther manufactured food materials, is
liable to be rendered unwholesome by
lnpIOpcI ludICIldlS anu iilCllOuo VI
manufacture. 1t is also open to the
especial objection that it is largely sold
as genuine butter. The interests of
the public, therefore, demand that it
should be subjected to competent of
fetal inspection, and that it should be
sold for what it is, and not as genuine
butter.
Bradstreet's has also an eXamina-
ton of the average prices of butter,
the conclusion of which is that these
prices have not declined since the in
PRODUCTION of oleomargarine, although
they may have been affected by it, a
diagram of prices shows regular rise
and fall each year. The lowest summer
price was fourteen cents in 1879
whence it rose to thirty-six in the win.
ter of 1880, and forty-two at the begin
ming and end of 1882. 1t thus states
the average prices:
