Law Aaains, False Brands.

False brands of dairy products have
always played a large part in frauds
perpctrated In the sale of butter and
cheese. 1t is OF interest to know that
a bill to prevent such practices is now
before the National Congress and
stands a good chance to become n
law. 1t Is known as the SHERMAN
Bill" and Is for the purpose of pre-.
venting the branding of butter and
cheese otherwise than from the ter.
ritory in which they are made. Thus.
at the present time, "Elgin butter
comes from all parts OF the country.
If any one section of country builds
up reputation for good products.
other localities at once begin stealint,
that reputation and profiting by IL,
This Ia mean kind of robbery that
needs to be done away with. In the
end 1t brings Into disrepute the
products from all localities, for II
causes doubt as to the value of any
kind of brand. In New York the
state department has been trying for
years to execute laws relative to this
matter, but has always found the non.
existence OF national law in this re.
gard great obstacle In its path.

the following conclusions:
l. Bronze hay gave MS good results

2. Dat straw was satisfactorily
used for feeding horses which did

Idle. one-fourth more grain was re
quircd to support horses doing light
work when they were fed straw.
3. Barley was not equal to oats in

4. Matted barley was not so vaiu
able for work horses as oats and was
not equal in value to the dry barley
from which Il came.
8. Corn fed in connection with oats
in the proportion of 100 pounds OF
corn to 125 pounds of oats, had great
err value than cats; IT'S pounds OF
