The slbley Cows at Toronto.-A
curious trouble cropped up at the To-
ronto Industrial Exhibition, held In
August last A dozen valuable cows
died early in the show week, and It
was at frst suspected they had been
poisoned, The Investigations OF tho
veterinary surgeons, who made the
post-mortem examinations OF the AMI
mails, showed that death had been
caused by the milk having been
pumped back into the cows udders
through the teats after they had been
milked out In accordance with the
rules. The stale germ-laden milk be-
ing absorbed into the blood clrcula-
ton set up blood poisoning, some OF
the udders turning black with morti-
fcatlon In a short time. The board OF
the association decided to withhold
the prizes won by any Of the animals
which died. The fraudulent attempt
TO obtain prizes by such a gross and
ignorant violation OF the laws OF ma
ture brought Its speedy punishment

New York Is making a vigorous fight
against illegal dairy products. II Is
reported that comparatively few OF the
groceries are handling oleomargarine,
but that It Is being quite extensively
sold by peddlers from wagons. These
wagons come over from New Jersey
and sell largely to private and board
ing houses. The officers OF the law
have caught a number, and the tratiic
seems in good way to being stopped.
SO say some of the reports. 1t was,
however, but a short time ago that
1t was currently reported that oleo-
margarine was being extensively sold
In New York city by the grocers.
Either the first reports were erroneous
or there has been a sudden reform. 1t
Is OF interest to watch the New York
situation as that state has taken the
position that oleomargarine shall not
be sold at all, either colored or UNI
colored. In most Of our states the
dairymen are contendlng only for q
law that shall make 1t impossible to
sell oleomargarlne for butter. II New
York succeeds In enforcing her rad
zeal law and keeping 1t on the statute
books there would appear to be no
good reason why national law d.
rected only against colored oleo should
not be passed and enforced,
Few are aware that filled cheese ID
still being manufactured In Illinois, yet
such Is the fact. Recently ten cars
OF neutral" were sent to one Of the
cheese making firms in the Elgln dis
trict, and an inquiry on the matter
elected the information that filled
cheese is being made for export, and
made under the revenue law. The
makers say that not a pound Of the
stun Is sold In this country, but that
all goes abroad At the last conven-
ton of the Illinois dairymen's conven-
ton Professor w. A. Henry Of the
Wisconsin Agricultural college re-
marked that We were now regaining
our foreign cheese trade, having stop
ped the manufacture OF filled cheese
Evidently he did not know that the
stun Is still being made for export,
Since the manufacturers have complied
fully with the law, 1t is doubtful II
much can be done to improve the sit
uation. 1t Is said that every cheese
is stamped In large letters "Filled
Cheese" so no fraud Is perpetrated on
the first buyer but the English re-
taller does not probably warn his GUS
toners that they are about to eat
filled cheese. However, so far as 1t af-
fects American trade, 1t Is difficult to
see how We are to suffer more than
Canada, for the stuff is more likely to
be retailed in England for Canadian
than for American cheese. 1t Is to be
hoped that the English authorities
will see that 1t Is sold only under its
real name.
