Some Of the magistrates In England
are rather severe on people that are
caught violating the oleomargarIne
act. Recently a copntrywoman Hxed
up some oleo In the form Of butter
and sold 1t to shopwoman.
The latter sold It to her customers
and thus 1t got into the hands Of the
inspectors. AS soon as she was In
formed of the character Of the product
she was selling the shopwom-
an told the source OF her
supply and did all In her power to
convict the guilty person. The latter
was fined G2O. The judges expressed
their sympathy with the shopwoman
but fined her 10 shllllngs, evidently as
a caution to herself and Others. Some
OF our English contemporaries are In
dlgnant over tho matter. as they be-
lieve the shopwoman was entirely In
nocent, and deny the right of the
Judges to levy even small fine In
such cases.
We have heard q great deal about
the effects on the flavor, OF butter OF
pasteurlzing the milk or cream. It
was said that this process left taste
In the butter that was Objectionable to
the consumer. II now appears that
this fact Is likely to be Of value rath-
er than otherwise. Reports from
Sweden indicate that the purchasers OF
Swedish butter are In some cases find
Ing that this kind Of butter sells bet
ter than the other kind, for the con-
sumers regard It as a proof that the
milk has been properly pasteurized.
Sooner or later the same idea will ex-
tend to England and America. Some
people prefer the cooked flavor any
way, and with the others It is largely
a matter OF education. When this be-
comes the case no one can argue
against pasteurlzing. 1t ls not a diff
cult matter to educate people TO like
a thing that they believe conserves
their health and lengthens life.
We have heard great deal about
the various villainous compounds for
making butter out Of caseln, but we
hardly expected that they would be
purchased to any great extent. Re-
ports, however, from some Of the
western states, particularly Minneso-

and In answer to inquiries In regard

that seven chicks from thirteen eggs

that is beyond his knowledge. The best
he can do is to send eggs from strong,

Cotton's Condition
Drops Many Points.
WITH ONE EXCEPTION, THE
POOREST CROP IN TWEN-
TY FIVE YEARS.
Texas Having Gone Down to 81

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE
monthly report Of the statistician
of the department Of agriculture
shows the average condition Of
cotton on September / to have
been 6S.5 as compared with $40
last month, 1913 on September l.,
1898. 1873 at the corresponding
date in 1887, and 7S.4 the mean
of the September averages for
the last ten years. The condition
on the first of the present month
was, with the exception of the
year 1896, the lowest September
condition in 25 years.
There was q general impair
ment in condition during August
amounting to 6 points in Alaba-
ma, S in Missippi and Tennessee,
10 in North Carolina and Geor.
gia, II in South Carolina and
Louisiana, 16 in Florida, 20 IN
Oklahoma, "a in Arkansas, 26 in
Texas and 40 in Indian Territory.
The serious decline in condition
is the result in the main of long
continued drought. Where local
rains have fallen they have gem
orally been 30 heavy as to still
further aggrave the situation.
The averages of the different
states on September l were as

Hilton in lieu of the legacy.
Though Judge Hilton was
ohrewd legal and commercial ad-
wiser, he lacked one of the chief
qualities of a great merchant
that of appreciation of the value
CT advertising. From the time
Judge Hilton took charge of the
establishment, in 1876, the busi-
ness began to decline. For a time
1T ran along smoothly on its old
prestige, but soon it ceased to be
the leading dry goods house of
New York, mainly because, under
Judge Hilton's management, it
ceased to advertise. Gradually it
declined until 1896, when the
firm went to the wall with liablli-
ties amounting to $2,539,SO7 and
no available assets. The moral is
obvious.-N. Y. Commercial Ga
