fort to meet this demand for vegetable
or anatto butter color.
The dairy department of the Wiscon'
sin Agricultural college has just COM
pleted experiments, under the direc.
ton of E. H. Harrington and Martin
Meyers, to determine the relative mer.
it's Of the two coloring materials, a
summary of the observations being as
follows:
First, some of the brands of vege
table butter color now on the market
are weaker than the aniline butter
colors. Nearly twice as much vege
table color was needed in some cases
to produce the same shade of color in
butter as was given by the anili1e
color.
Second, when the change was made
from vegetable to aniline butter color
some Is years ago, butter makers
were so accustomed to the weaker
anatto color that they added too much
of the stronger aniline color. This
had a tendency to gradually accus.
tom the consumer to a more highly
cOlored butter than formerly had been
made.
The natural color of June butter is a
sufficiently high color and when only
enough vegetable color is added to
produce this shade there will be no
danger of using so much as to impart
a butter color flavor to the butter.

Measuring Butter Color at the Dairy School.

but is the result of a desire to cater to
the popular demand for uniform yell
low color in butter at all seasons of
the year.
The following food inspection de-
cision No. 81 illustrates the attitude
Of the government authorities towards
the coloring of butter at this time.
"The coloring of butter is specifical-
ly permitted in the law Of August 2,
1886 GA Stat, 209), and the coloring
of cheese in the law Of June 6, 1896
(29 Stat, 253). 1t is held by the de-
partment that the food and drugs act
does not repeal the provisions of the
acts referred to above and the addi-
ton of harmless color to these sub
stances may be practiced as therein
provided and that the presence of COL
oring matter specifically recognized
by acts of congress as a constituent
is not required to be declared on the
label"
JAMES WILSON.
Secretary of Agriculture.
Washington. D. G.: January Is. 1907.
The pure food law, which went into
effect January 1, 1907, does not forbid
the coloring of butter, but it prohibits
interstate commerce in any article of
food, 'if it contains any added poison
Gus ingredient which may render such
article injurious to health The regu-
lations made for the enforcement of
the law provide that the secretary of
agriculture shall determine the names
of such substances as shall be permit
ted or inhibited and until investiga-
lions have been made and reported by
the secretary Of agriculture regarding
the brands of butter color now on the
market, it is evident that their use as
formerly may be continued.
The brands of butter color now on
the market may be divided into two
general classes.
1. Those made from anatto seed by
the use of some oil as solvent, COM
monty called vegetable colors.
2. The aniline or cOal-tar color,
sometimes called mineral colors.
Up to within q year or two, aniline
butter colors have been more ex-
! tensively used than vegetable cOlors.
There seems to be some uncertainty
in the popular mind whether or not
anilfne butter color is harmless as
used in the manufacture of butter
On account of this doubt. which with
some amounts to prejudice against
the use Of coal-tar coloring matter in
any article of food, manufacturers OF
butter color have of late made an eff

Third, the vegetable colors now on
the market impart rather greenish-
yellow shade to the butter. This is
quite different from the bright or red.
dish-yellow given to the butter by the
aniline colors.
Fourth, some brands of vegetable
color contain a decided flavor impart.
ed to them by the oil used in making
the color. This favor may be distinct
~ noticed in the butter when large
quantities of such brands Of color are
used.
Fifth, a great improvement in the
strength and flavor of certain brands
of vegetable butter color was noticed
during the year these experiments
were conducted, which suggests that
the vegetable butter colors may
eventually be improved so as to COM
pare favorably with the aniline but.

The reading habit is growing by
leaps and bounds among the children
of North Carolina, the inauguration Of
the rural library system for the pub
lie schools of NORTH Carolina in 1901
having proved a great success as shown
by the increasing number of school
districts that have taken up the
work.
In the six years the system has been
in vogue it has proved so successful
that many States are following the
lead of North Carolina in the work.
There are now in the State 1872 libra
ries, for which there has been spent
SOL, IA by the State, counties and dis
tricts. In the libraries there are ILL.,
$50 volumes, and with an average of
90 children to a school district there
are now 139,4O6 children who nave ac-
cess to the libraries, while in the State
there are 7O9, 1872 children.
While all the funds for the past year
are exhausted there will be available
in the next two years sufficient funds
to establish 500 libraries and 500 sup
Elemental libraries, thus placing the
riches of good literature within the
reach of many more thousand children

TILLMAN'S LATEST.
The Senate Sat on Him in EXeCu-
tive Session and He
Makes Public
Apology.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Few features
of the spectacular were missing from
the proceedings of the Senate to-day.
The Brownsville affair was the subject
of controversy, and the day began with
the announcement of a compromise
resolution which brought both Repub-
lican and Democratic Senators together
ton of the facts of the affray, without
bringing into question the authority
of the President to dismiss the negro
troops.
When the Harmony testimonials
were in, Senator Tillman took the floor
and delivered a speech in reply to the
recent criticism of himself by Senator
Spooner. The speech began with a
picture of the Senate as "a minstrel
show which Mr.. Tillman later said
, funny" an attempt which, at it's con
clusion, brought a singing denuncia-
ton from senator Carmack in resent
ment to illusions to him. This was
preceded by a serious reply from Sena-
tor Spooner on the attitude taken by
Mr.. Tillman on the race problem, all
finally resulting in a session of nearly
two hours behind closed doors.
The secret session vas followed by a
brief open one in which Mr.. Tillman
made a profuse apology to Mr.. Car
mack, to all Senators whom he brought
into his first essay in the line of hui
NOR" and finally to the whole Senate.
81 very much regret that I ave under

so any more" MI. Tillman then with
drew all he had said in his funny es-
say" and said it would not appear in
the record.
This apology was at once accepted by
Mr.. Carmack, who regretted he had
questioned the motives of his friend,
and he, too, withdrew words he had ut
tered in protest.

COTTON OPPORTUNITIES.

Consul General George e. Anderson,
in a recent government report, brings
out the fact hat the United States is
sending very little cotton manufactures
to Brazil. He has made a study of the
trade there in cotton fabrics. Mr.. An
derson writes the bureau that the one
time trade of the United States with
Brazil in certain fabrics has practically
disappeared, the entire cotton-c1oth ex-
ports to this country being only $745,-
962 and $500 ,OO7, respectively, for the
fiscal year 1905 and 1906 for a popula-
ton Of II 600, 200 people. Of the cotton
fabrics imported Great Britain is fur
nishing the bulk. Some fabrics OF
American manufacture, like overall
materials, still have a name in Brazilian
competition and cheap substitutes, and
only a lettering of general tariff condi-
ions in Brazil is necessary to revive
American trade in such lines. In some
lines of American goods there is appar-
emily little chance of doing anything.
English competitors, says the consul,
have built up a special trade, and SO
far have been able to keep it. Ameri-
can manufacturers continue to put more
cotton and less filling. in their goods,
and do not sell SO cheaply. In Brazil
this policy works against American
goods chiefly in that it especially in
creases the duty upon them. A differ
ence in the weight of a thread, writes
the consul, or in the number of threads,
may mean different customs classical
ton at a much higher rate of duty, and
in Brazil at the present time the matter
of the customs duty is the real problem
in the cotton trade.
