DETECTED THE BUTTERINE.
quite a lively interest was created at
the dalrymen's meeting to-day by a rumor
that a package of oleomargarne or but
terlne had been smuggled in the exhibits
and entered as dairy butter" Great cu-
riosity was expressed by many OF the
dalrymen as to how 1t would fare in the
hands OF the judges, e. y. Harris and o.
Douglass OF Boston The former served
as one of the judges at the worlds Column
]
nlsed as the most noted Judges of butter
and cheese in New England. At the con-
ciusion OF the judges work their report
was examined and the miscrcant found.
Your reporter at once sought Messrs. Har-
ris and Douglass and learned from them
the facts In the case
Mr.. Harris said: "As soon as tasted the
sample I said TO Mr.. Douglass: This re-
minds me OF oeomargarine and proceeded
to score as butter. as It was our duty to
score everything In the exhibit.
By request Mr.. Harris re-examined the
sample in question, which. when stripped
of its paper covering, showed the brand of
| the OakGale Manufacturing company OF
Providence r. l., properly stamped and
registered and which he pronounced to be
one of the best samples of butterne he had
ever seen, being of normal color well
salted of fair grain and texture, but very
low In flavor. The score card bearing the
lowest rating by many points OF any in the
exhibit The Judges were both agreed
and spoke very frankly and fairly In their
! estimate as stated.
! The dairymen are juoilant ever the out
come of the matter. as the judgment comes
from the highest authority In New Eng
land and clearly shows that oleomargari.e
is no companion for Vermont hutter.
