bition of is product well devised tC
deceive even the elect. But Mr.. Har
ris' taste was too acute for the fraud
and it was exposed. The exhibit wa,
entered as " dairy butter" by the Oak
dale Manufacturing Company of Prov

plan, the cream is gathered by an EN-

where it goes through like process.
"Now, after the milk or cream leave
the producers hands he has no knowl
edge of its future handling, on whicl
its value to him depends, nor has h
any assurance whatever that the sam
