The question was on the adoption Of

mcnt 1872.
Mr. Haincs of Watervillo said that the
result of the consideration of this matter,
by the committee on agriculture was
Senate document Isl, which the speaker
said he hoped would be adopted. The
whole gist of this controversy be-
tween the farmers and the oleomar-
garine manufacturers hinges on the word
yellow The present United States law
prohibiting its sale unless it is put up
in packages and properly labeled, and
which we have practically in this state,
does not go far enough to protect the but
ter. The agricultural interests OF this
State demand the practical prohibition OF
tho sale Of olcomargarine in this State.
by the introduction of this word YET
low you will practically prohibit it.
This bill says that u few manufacturers
of Chicago, New York or Boston shall NOT
comeinto this State and sell cotton seed OIL
or mutton tallow, or beef suet for butter,
that they shall not sell 1t in imitation OF
yellow butter, The great farming interests
of this State should be protected against
this article of food. This bill simply says
that man shall not sell lard or cotton
seed oil or tallow for the product OF inc
cow. hope the House will vote to pass
Senate document 81.

ter that it cannot easily be distinguishes
from it, and it can readily be palmed on
on the unsuspecting for pure butter. ier

use Of an article which we do not want
to use, without our knowing IL,
and forcing us to pay for that article from
s to 10 cents per pound more than inc
cost Of producing it warrants. and moro
than it would cost If it was sold fer whas
it really is, and not fraudulently sofa lor
butter. 1t is great wrong to the iari' !,
ers of this State, by forcing them TO ser
their butter in competition with sham
butter. This fraudulent sale OF oieo-
margarine for butter by these dealers en-,
ables them to cut the rate of what Sooa
butter would be from two to three Genus
apound and still make seven or eigne
