News OF the State Creameries.
during the past week a bill was in
| troduced in the Legislature that will,
II passed, prove great boon to the
dalrymen of the state. Representative
Staples, OF Dakota county, fathers the
measure.
The bill provides, in effect, that no
person, finn or corporation shall manu-
facture, sell or cause to be exposed for
sale what is commonly known as rem
ovated butter" unless it Is SO labeled
In support of the bill it is alleged that
hrms throughout the state are in the
naDlt OIL buying uD old. rancid and
cheap grades of butter, melting it, and
| then reWorking and rechurning it with
pew milk, and, after preparing it in
this manner, placing it on the market
as good butter
The bill does not prohibit this prac-
tee, but 1t does provide that all such
butter must be properly marked and
| labeled as renovated butter so hat
a purchaser may make no mistake in
| buying it.
A clause in the bill charges the state
dairy and food commission with look
ing to the enforcement of the law, and
| empowers that body to prosecute any
violations
1t is provided that any one that VIC
| lates any of the provisions of the act
| shall be guilty of a misdemaanor and
! upon conviction, shall be srH5ect to
fine of not to exceed SCR tinlprison
| ment not to exceed two months.
The bill has been referred to the
committee on health, and it is believed
sage.
While Minnesota buttermakers were
at Sioux Falls they ran away with an
other prize that was just as significant
in it's way as the banner. This was a
division of the pro rata prize Of $500
| to every exhibitor scoring 50 points
or better. Of all the exhibits from all
the states. thirty-four qualified for this
prize. Of those thirtyfour, sixteen
We're from Minnesota.
