creameries that are in debt.
The other day buttermaker went to
take new position, and the creamery
owner says to him, Now, young man,
You are going to a creamery where there
are all kinds of patrons. There are
very good patrons and there are others.
One of the others brought in some cream
last Christmas and he wasn't seen again
until early March, when he brought
eleven cans-mostly petriied. Now,
young man, anything petri6ed you must
not take. Every-other-day cream is all
right, and those who have good places
in which to keep it and live long way
from the creamery, two times . week
will do, but it is not as good The pet.

The truth of the old eaying. Its an
Ill wind that blows no msn good, Is
again verified in decision OF the su.
preme court of the United States, in
upholding the constitutionality of the
law imposing tax of 10c a pound on
colored butterine The ruling forces the
manufacturers to pay the tax on all OF
the product sold since the enactment of
tbs law. The decision deals a death
blow to manufacturers of this imitation
of butter and compels the dealer to 90

business factories and all. This, of
course, is = great disappointment to the
men who have spent 80 many years and
fortunes III building up the industry,
but the interest of the farmers who sell
milk and cream to the creamery and re-
ceive pay therefore on the basis of the
market price of butter, is hereby safe.

passed in the interest OF the masses.
The fraudulent manufacture of food
stuffs is not to be tolerated. There is
no loop hole of escape in this late decis-
ion for either the government or the
manufacturers In the wording of the
decision clear and concise statement
of what constitutes butterine Ia given

This should give the dairy farmer of
the middle west still greater encourage

dairy cows in their herds, expend lit

barn and to plant little more fodder,
corn and roots for winter food.
