butter made from dry FODDER" cows milk,
which does not contain coloring matter OF
some kind, Generally, this is found to be
an aniline dye. which in itself, is a deadly
poison. OF course, the quantity of this
aniline dye is So small In each pound of
butter as TO make It absolutely harmless.
But the Department of Agriculture seems
disposed to hold that the law proscribes
all deleterlous substances in foods, no mat
ter how small the quantity may be. For
loo years or more butchers and farmers
all over the world, have used saltpetre in
the preparation OF cOtned beef, hams, etc.
but the congress of the United States has
suddenly discovered that saltpetre is in
itself Injurious to health, and In conse-
quence meat packers and butchers whose
products enter interstate commerce will not
be permitted to use this drug.
Every cheese factory in the country, and
especially those manufacturing cheese for
the EUROPEAN market, uses annate, to give
Its products the color demanded by the
trade. During nine months out OF every
twelve the milk produced in the dairies Of
the United States II 50 devoid OF natural
coloTing matter that cheese without foreign
matter would be as white as milk itself
White cheese is not marketable In Eng

export cheese trade, already seriously in
jured by the competition OF Canada
!. But the worst blow TO the dairy interests
which the ''anti-eoloring" order viii bring
about, will be tho Disadvantage under which
the dairymen will labor because OF the
competition of the manufacturers OF oleo-
