HOW TO DETECT OLEO.
A Simple Home Test Which Is Reason
ably Reliable.

A Simple Home Test Which Is Reason
ably Reliable.
It is important that every one who is
compelled to buy butter for family use
should have his wits about him to see
that raw animal fat in the form of oleo
is not imposed upon him for pure
creamery or dairy butter. 1t is well
known that these fats are very injuri-
Gus to those even of the strongest di-
gestion, being indigestible, unassim-
liable in the human stomach and calcu-
lated to create distur Dances of the
most serious character. 1t is we'll,
therefore, to know how to test what
one buys, and to test every purchase;
for the fraudulent stuff is put uo in
such garb as to deceive even good
judges when on guard, and sold by men
who pretend to be farmers and selling
their own dairy product.
Take a small lineup, ladle. or even a
large tablespoon, in which put some of
the suspected butter, hold it over a
mild fire or the gas jet, not too hot. If
pure butter, it will soon foam up freely.
This foam you can skim off as quick as
~ IAoCo lutO duOLuCI FCSSCl anu, IL DuU-
ter, it will keep on foaming until all is
removed, unless you overhead or burn
some. On the contrary, if what you
are trying is oleo, it will at first throw
up little sputtering foam, derived
from the portion of milk or cream used
in churning the compound, but when
that is removed even the most intense
heat has no effect on it. To further
convince yourself, now drop in little
pure butter, which will Immediately be
thrown up again in foam, and can be
skinned eff as before. They don't
seem to agree If the supposed butter
does not foam up and continue it, as
skinned off, you may be sure it is not
butter. Besides, when it cools off you
will readily see it is the product of the
hog, etc, for which you have likely
paid three or four prices and probably
would not use under any circumstances
if aware of its original condition.
