To Color OIcomargar;ue

The organization of tho Unitsd
Churning Company under the laws
OF New Jersey, with a capitalization
OF 81 900, 900, is said to be a move on
the part of the oleomargarine and
process butter men to avoid the term
OF the Grout pure food bill.
The leading firms in these indus.
tres, it is said are interested in the
company the purpose Of which is to
take advantage Of the recent decision
Of the Commissioner Of Internal Rev
cnuc at Washington, under which
they can mix naturally colored butter
with their product to give it the
butter c0loring and thus avoid the
tax of 10 cents pound on the art-

grass and clover feed in the butter
made from the milk and cream.
Wel..inf0rmed members OF the
Butter Board Of Philadelphia insist
that original oleomargarine which is
white in color, cannot be tinted su-
ilcienlly by any such blending of
pure grass butter color, to make the
oleo look the same as real creamery
butter; that while natural grass
butter is rich IN color during the
average season Of FIVE months in the
year, this tint is not strong enough
to be used for successful oleo cooring
and that during the finest butter is
slightly heis htened IN color 10y arLi-
fetal means.
The oico men think otherwise and
are keeping their own councils ex.
pectlng soon to spring great sur
prise on the pure butter men.
It's reported that considerable
oleo is still being used in this city,
and the movers in this new enter
prise are looking forward TO big
trade fer the future. The matter is
causing Il sensation among the butter
interests in general.
