Oleomargarine is going to get black
eye ora pink one. The dairymen of
Kansas have said so
While It has been decided by the su-
preme court of the state of New York in
session sitting on oleomarg arine, that to
entirely exclude its manufacture would
be unconstitutional. nothing has been
said as regards its complexion and on
this point the dairymen Of Kansas are
agreed to place their footing.
If they succeed ia persuadIng the state
legislature to pass Law compelling cleo
makers to color their goods the hensan
as he sits down to MS restaurant meal Is
likely to be confronted by cleo Of a Shade
that will make an Italian sunset pale
with envy.
Just think of man calling in the
midst of nights pOtatIOns at an eating
house for little bite Of something to
sort q equaiize his stomach, and having
his peace Of mind upset by the presence
of a chunk of pale green oleo with
dark blue frog printed on it. What an
argument for tenn oerance that viii b-i
Under those variegated conditions that
seem about To confront u, how happy
that can have pink butter with her pink
tea, ana oleo to match the lamp shade
How pretty wiil the white walls Of the
suburban home be after the happy chill
dren have mixed their fingers with their
bread and cleo from different packages)
aud trailed blue and green and magenta
and cerise streaks at the different heights
along them
How fellow will look after he has
eaien his daily bread and cleo and p
pears on the street with a heIOtrope halo
about his mouth.
And how easy it viii be to get a dark
brown taste on ones tongue and at what
slight expense and what snap for the
economic restaurant keeper who can
then OlsO his toast to the desired brown
without getting it more than warm.
And, Oh, what host Of joyous delights
we can see IN the approach of cOlOred
cleo.
A E. Jones Of Topeka led the cleo dis
cussiOn, and his argument was very con
vincing. 1t was replete with figures and
advocates the esta blishment of a state
department for the examination of but
ter and food There was COusiderable
discussion. but it all pointed the same
way, and a one sided argument isn't in
terestlng.
j. H. Hoffman Of Newton. Kan. read
interesting paper entitled Private
versus Cooperative CreamerAes." There
was a lengthy discussion regarding
it. Dir. Forney Of Abilene read
paper on the subject: Have the Low
Prices for the Past season been due TO
the universal law Of supply and de-
mand." and decided accordingly.
Prof Q. @. GeOrgesOn Of the State Az
ricultural college. told some interesting
things about "Dairying IN Denmark"
A. &. Pierce OF Junction City, talked
for awhile about "5ilos." oar. Pierce
was not prepared, but promised a red
hot article on the same subject for
year from now, and perhaps the assOcia-
ton can wait MIR. Pierce is very enthu-
ziastic about silos, and declares that the
farmers down his way THINK more Of
them than they do of sewing machines
Prof Georgeson said that at the agri-
cultural college last winter they kept Sc
cows on the sliced product of twenty
acres of corn and II wasn't a good wear
for corn either Mr.. Pierce said that If
the farmers Of Kansas didn't get rich it
was their own fault They were as in
dependent as he banker. Mr. Pierce is
evidently no POpulisL Redeem Kansas
with the silo" said he, and then went on
to issue a sort Of verbal edict to the
dairymen to mold your butter That Is,
it the butter didn't manifest its strength
too violently.
II. J. New berry, a. 4. Jones and e. II.

ton and ported in favor of the passage
Of laws to sit down with dull thud on

preparation for the same. Also thanks
