the trough is twelve feet long. sixteen
inches wide. twenty-five inches high. ta-
pered as shown. With the exception Of the
Stats which are one-half inch thick and
two and one-half inches wide the trough
is made of inch lumber. The sides. which
are nailed on the edge of the bottom are
six inches wide. The end pieces or legs
are three inches wide and extend six
inches below the bottom of the trough. as
shown. These legs are, of course. fastened
securely to the trough after the latter is
built and are independent of the rack it.
self. The rack is built by mailing the
Stats one foot apart on pieces three inches
wide and twelve feet long and are then
hinged to the sides of the trough so that
they rest in the edges of the trough when
closed. Two hinges on each side (strap
hinges of course) will be sufficient. At
about the middle of the racks n bent hasp
is fastened so that when the racks are in
place they may he held so by turning the
hasp over the othe other side over a staple
and holding it in place with a bit of wood
In this arrangement either rack may be
let down and the trough thus filled from
either side.
How Oieomar arine Has Failed.
When the cleomargarine bill was before
congress it was claimed by those who
fought against it that the attempt to tax
1t was nothing more nor less than an cf-
fort to throttle a promising industry in the
interests of farmers. Its defendants
claimed. on the other hand. that they had
no objection to the manufacture and sale
of oleomargarine as such. but decidedly
objected to its being colored In imitation
of butter without being labeled as an mi
tation. To the credit of the national law
makers, be it said. the bill was passed
which provided that oleomargarine COL
ored to initiate butter Should he taxed at
10 cents a pound and when not colored at
one-fourth of l cent a pound. The just
ness of the law as passed is shown by the
report of the commissioner of Internal rev.
enue to the effect that at the close of a
fiscal year after the law went into effect
40 manufacturer or dealer had qualified,
us the law directed, to manufacture or
market colored ol-eomargarine and pay the
tax This is conclusive evidence that the
claim made, while the bill was before con-
gress, that the consumer would rather
have oleomargarine than butter was false.
A few more victories like this and both
farmers and consumers will be on the road
to moderate prosperity: the one because
he obtains a fair price for his product,
the other because he is not, unknowingly,
filling his pima with adulterated foods.
