bushels of potatoes-or, to be exact,
974 bushels and 43 pounds shave been
grown on one acre of land in Johnson

There were 22,S00 hills on one acre,
and 1,500 pounds of sets, containing
one, two and three eyes, were planted.
The profit on the crop on this first
prize acre was STA, exclusive of 5000

is selling at IS cents per barrel at the
works, with duty of "a cents per hum
dred, when in 1860 it cost 50 per barrel

commissioner. has issued circular in
which he refers to the making OF patent
butter, and the fact that Minneapolis
firm is Offering for sale a recei pit that
will enable any one using it to produce
from so TO 80 per cent more butter than
by the old process of churning. He says:
The process is to add one pound of
butter 10 each gallon of milk or cream
before churning it, then by putting in a
certain amount Of "bI-carbOnate of
soda" the "caseine' of the milk is incor-
pOrated with the butter fats, which
gives the increased weight.
The grain OF the butter is totally de-
stroyed, and the product is of a greasy,
salvey nature, and does not have good
keeping qualities. l am not prepared
TO say that the chemicals used are IN
healthy, but the product is not pure
butter, it is butter and cheese mixed,
and while there is no law to prevent
the mixing of the casein OF the milk
with the butter fats, there is law reg
ulating the sale of such mixture. In
1887 found firm in this city making
butter by similar process, called the
Guinness Patent" They were doing
a large business. and claimed that they
would be able to drive the genuine but
ter from the market, as the patent but
ter could be sold cheaper. | drafted
and had the legislature pass bill, which
can be found in chapter al of Laws OF
1887.
This law makes it obligatory for any
person who makes butter under
the "QuInnPss patent" or any other
process whereby the casen of the milk
is incorporated with the butter fats, to
stamp each package, in large letters,

demeanor, and punished by fine of $50
to 500.
IL further provides that any person
selling such product shall give to egch
purchaser a printed card stating cor
rectly the different ingredients con-
tanned in SAID compound, with S25 to
500 fine for neglect of such duty. The
effect of this law was to stop tue making
OF patent butter at that time. 1t will
apply to the product made by using
Chase u Parks receipt. The law will
be strictly enforced, and any person Of
fering such imitation butter for sale
had better comply with its provisions
before doing SO.
