THE STRUGGLE FOR PURE DAIRY
pRODyCTS

At one time the great strife of the
dairymen OF Vermont In common with
those of other leading dairy States was
to put stop to the substitution OF
oleomargarine and other limitations for
genuine butter. Vermont's delegation
in Congress led this struggle from the
beginning to the end. the late Con-
gresham w. W. Grout, having been
one of the congressional pioneers in
the movement, and Senator Proctor as
chairman Of the agricultural commit
tees of the United States Senate, hav-
ing been in at the finish when the pres
ent anti-oleo- margarine law finally
passed the upper branch of Congress-
Since the enactment Of this measure
taxing any oleoginous compound colored
to resemble butter, the manufacturers
of spurious dairy products have been at
their wits end to devise some means
OF evading its provisions. but they have
not been singularly successful.
The most successful substitute for
the former practice Of selling cleo pro-
ducts for butter is the palmlng of on
the public of renovated butter, which
Is prepared by mixing cream and ran
cid or other cheap dairy products and
working the combination until a com
paratively palatable article OF diet Is
produced. The state Of New York Is
considering legislation to do away with
fraud in the sale Of this product. as
shown by the following paragraph
from the Malone Palladium:
Senator ONeil, as chairman of the
committee on agriculture, reported fav-
orably last week the bill introduced by
Assemblyman Matthews for regulation
or the sale of renovated butter and ex-
poets It to pass the Senate without
serious OPPOSITION. 1t has already pass-
ed the Assembly. 1t requires that
every package of renovated butter that
Is sold shall be wrapped In paper which
snail have printed thereon in large tyne
the words renovated butter"
One would naturally suppose the ma
tional pure food law would cover this
matter OF labelling renovated butter,
but II will certainly be helpful IL the
different States enact laws like that
contemplated at Albany.

Therefore, resolved, Of the assembly

tons thereon 10 the Legislature OF 1908.
The members OF the commission shall
not receive compensation, hut each shall

his official duties under the provisions Of
this resolution. to be paid by the State
treasurer on the audit and warrant Of

There Is every reason to expect that
the Dominion government will join with

to the memory of the explorer whose
service In behalf Of early Canada was so
conspicuous and that the celebration will
be In full keeping with the historical
Importance of the event to be CONNIE
