PURE FOOD LAW.
Its Interpretation by the State Dairy
and Food Commissioner.

and Food Commissioner.
Ii. c.. Adams, state dairy and food
commissioner, has issued circular
letter addressed to Wisconsin manu-
facturers and dealers in foods and
drugs, wherein he explains the pro-
visions of the law prohibiting the
adulteration of foods and drugs, which
became operative January l last.
Mr.. Adams says public opinion is
largely in favor of the law and thai
there seems to be a general tendency
towards a proper observance of it.
The following rulings on the law are
given: G ~ =
Oleomargarine and butterine shall
be sold only in the uncolored state and
in packages branded in accordance to
the law.
Vendors of oleomargarine or butter
substitutes are required to display pla-
cards at their places of business and
to brand each separate package In
accordance with the provisions of the
law.
Hotels, restaurants and boarding
houses patronized by the public are
required to notify guests, when oleo-
margarine or butter substitutes are
used upon their tables, that the sub
stances so furnished are not butter.
Skimmed-milk cheese shall not be
manufactured Or sold except in com
pliance with section 2, chapter 80,
laws of 1895, which provides that
such cheese shall be ten inches in
diameter and nine inches in height.
Spices which are specified articles,
as pepper, ginger, cloves, etc., will be
deemed adulterated, when mixed with
any cheaper substances (as four), even
if in themselves foods, as it is the evil
dent intention of the law to prevent
fraudulent substitution, and while flour
or middlings may be foods in them
selves, they can in no sense be classed
as condiments.
Vinegars must be true to name.
Distilled vinegar from whatever source
shall be branded and sold as ssWhite
Vinegar or Distilled Vinegar. Malt
vinegar shall be made by fermenta-
ton only and without distillation, and
shall differ from distilled vinegar in
that it contains malt solids. No vine
gar shall be branded fruit vinegar"
unless made wholly from the juice OF
apples or other fruit.
yAll mixtures and compounds OF re-
cognized standing as ordinary articles
of food must be labeled mixtures
or compounds.
Vanilla and lemon extracts shall be
made wholly from oil of lemon and
vanilla beans, respectively, by the use
of suitable solvent, and shall contain
no other ingredients, except when
labeled compound. All artificial
extracts and jellies when containing
no unwholesome ingredient, can be
manufactured and sold for what they
are.
Prepared coffee containing an ad-
mixture of chickory, grains or other
coffee substitutes, when containing nc
ingredient injurious to the public health
and with the elements compounded in
such proportions as would make it a
recognized article of food, can be
manufactured and sold when labeled
"Coffee Compound"
Dry mustard, when sold as drug,
must be pure; when sold for food pur-

The Daily Times is booming E. j.
Labuwi, Dodge county's youthful
sheriff, for the Republican nomina-
ton of state senatorin the Thirteenth
district. Labuwi is certainly a first
class hustler, has shown his excellent
running qualities on several occa-
sions, and apparently seeks higher
political honors. He is early in the
field and seems to be after the nomi-
nation in earnest. AS shrewd
politician he is said to be a remark
able young man for one of his limited
experience. But he may find the
path to the senatorship not all
strewn with roses. Even though
Chairman John Canes does not con-
test with Labuwi for the nomination
the Democrats may have something
to say in the election.

The Wheeling Iron and Steel Co
at Brentwood, West Virginia, has
shut down, because the 1900 work
men proposed to resist reduction
of from 8 to so per cent in their
wages. This is one of the mills
which in October, 1896, had large
posters on it, saying if Bryan is
elected the mills will be closed. II
Mckinley is elected work will be
abundant and wages advance.
However the wage workers at
Brentwood ought to be satisfied.

Remarkable Cow Feeding Tests.


New facts about COW feeding have
been learned by remarkable expert
ment conducted by Director Jordan at
the New York station, the results of
which, soon to be published, will make
a sensation. Selecting a good Jersey
cow and getting her in proper shape
for the test, he fed her for GO days with
tically no fat. Everything that she
consumed was weighed and analysed,
also the milk and all the excrement,
solid and liquid. The figures show t,at
this cow gave in her milk 40 lb.; more
fat than she consumed, while she added
80 lbs to her weight and was in a good.
thrifty, fleshy condition at the close.
This indicates that the vital force In
,he COW has the ability to convert
sugar and starch in the feed into fat.
Should this fact be confirmed by re-
peated tests, 1t may upset some of the
accepted theories about balanced ra-
tions, Indeed, sorIe of the intelligent
western feeders contend that they get
better results by feeding their cheap
corn, grain or meal, with corn fod-
der-a ration that is quite deficient in
protein or nitrogenous matter, though
rich in fat-than they do when we'll
balanced ration is given. Now if
COW can convert starchy elements into
fat, as Jordan believes, why may she
not increase the per cent of solids in
her milk, according as her food is
varied? The fact is, we are beginning
to find out that processes going on in
the "innards" of COW are "fearfully
and wonderfully made" and but little
understood.
