SIR: 1t seems as if a large portion of the
community we're credulous about the manufacture OF
butter would that an article OF consumption In
daily use would be so well known that the community
could not imposed upon but the prices OF good butter
have been 80 high this Winter that persons have been
engaged IN manufacturing an article resembling butter
and have completely deceived many into the belief that
they have been buying the genuine article. 1t Is
necessary to the public health that all persons
ing food should know exactly what they eating and
I think that IL would be within the province Of
official to look this matter There persons who
buy taow and suet. and through cer1an process OF
churning milk, article that Is well calculated
To deceive There Others who mix taOw, lard, and
ceansed housegrease and colorng the whole make an
article that will pass for butter Bakers have been de-
celyed into purchasing OF this compound and have
had OF their cakes pies etc. spoiled BY IT, so that
now not one will it at any price But IL has most
successfully deceived shippers and operatives in
featuring towns during cold weather for In Summer
gets rancid and turns OIL. understand that large
lots have sold this Winter in Paterson, Newark,
Pittsburgh and the coal regions OF Pennsylvania also
I'm New.iaypn and Providence 1 think that bill is
row before the Legislature Of Rhode Island prevent
the manufacture and sale of spurious butter Would
1t not be well for the legislature OF Hew-York
State TO look into this matteri Such large profits
have been made In the sale OF this al
ticle that some respectable persons have
been induced to enter into this business. Some per
forming companies and trying to sell stock,
one stating, in flaming prospectus, that butter can
he made of a quart OF milk. Now II Is well known by
chemical analysis that tbreef0urths OF milk Is water
AS well might 1t be told that all The salt fish could be
made into fresh fish, and that all the salt and old junk
beef could, by newly discovered process be
yered into tenderloin steaks There are existing laws
and water, and see no reason why the community
should not be protected in the same manner in such an
important article of diet as butter. MERCHANT.

High up on the Rocky Mountains,
where the snow lies deep and white
the long year through, and the winds
blow cold ond sharp. live the rabbits
with snow shoes, that / want to tell
about.


They are beautiful creatures.
Their fur is pure white, very soft
and warm and they leap with won
derful quickness, over the snow.
For God who knew just where their
home would be and how they would
have to run on the top of the deep
snow, provided them with long broad
feet ON the hind legs which are just
as good for rabbits rs the great long
snow shoes are for men, for they
keep them from breaking through the
delicate snow crust, or sinking
in the feather, fakes.


These wonderful snow shoes
which God made which fit each foot
and which never wear out, serve
them well, enabling them to run
lightly over the soft snow wi here moth
ing can follow them. No dog can
catch them, for he will break
through at every leap, and founder
in the snow drifts, while the rabbit
runs on broad, smooth pathway
over the mountain gorges, where the
snow lies sixty or seventy feet deep.

We have frequently called atten-
tion to this business matter but to
save few dollars many persons will
neglect the chance to reap perhaps
hundreds, by simply refusing to risk
a trihe, because they cannot see the
result in advance. Did every farmer
refuse to sow the seed because be
cannot tell the profit of the Hext
years crop, then indeed would farm
ing become poor business, but ex
perience teaches that the average
profits of farm crops do pay, and just
so would it pay our farmers to ad-
vertise their real estate and personal
property more and better. The Sun
bury american, says on this subject:


Advertising sales of real and per-
sonal property by hand-bill was one
time the best way of making them
known. But that was before the day
when everybody read the newspapers.
Newspapers have, to great extent,
supplanted the posters, and when
thing is to be brought to the atten-
tion of everybody it is advertised in
the newspapers. For every person
who reads a sale bill posted in a
country store, tavern or blacksmith
shop, hundred will read the
same thing if printed in the county
paper. In advertising, the news
paper posses all the advantages. 1t
goes into every family and is read in
comfort and at leisure The hand
bill is stuck up where it receives at
best but passing notice, and the
majority who see it do not read it at
all The newspaper is printed by
thousands, and everybody reads it,
of the hand-bills twenty-five or thirty
at most are printed and stuck up.
The newspaper is the cheapest and
best advertising medium. Sales of
personal property are best made
known by handblls and newspapers
both.


The York Democratic Press COM
menting on what the American says,
adds that: 1T is matter ofsurprise
that people who have sales do not
advertise them more extensively, for
the cost is trifling and if only one ad-
ditional bidder were obtained thereby
the expense would be far more than
made up by that one alone. But, in
stead of one many more are obtained
by extensive advertising, and the
profits Of the vendue are consequent
ly greatly enlarged. Everybody
knows that when vendue 3ales are
largely attended goods cCme much
nearer bringing their value than when
the attendance is small. 1t isstrange,
therefore, that those having sales do
not give them all the publicity that
can possibly be obtained"


Advertising like other things when
done should be done well. We have
arrived at an age when people do
read newspapers, and to neglect ad
yertising in the popular extensively
circulated newspaper, is right down
neglect, carelessness and waste. In
nine cases out of ten the same neglect
in farming would be considered mex
cusable and wasteful.

sat out to ride to Vermont and back
without a stop. She was 80 artless

stepmother pounded her with roll
ing pin, and when we thought of q
rolling pin whacking against her
fragile form and bounding over her
alabaster shoulders, our hair stood
on end with mad frenzy. She said
she sometimes thought she'd get
married to escape further persecution
and we were about to lay our hand
on our heart, and offer to be hers
forevermore, when the sleigh stop
ped at the school house. Then came
the spelling down. 1t was Brighton
against Bungtown, with the school
master in favor of Bungtown. Such
words as "catarrh," turkey" par
allel," &c, soon reduced the sides to
a half dozen, and at length we were
left to sustain the honor Of Brighton.
The schoolmaster was determined
that Bungtown should win. and it
when we spelled Omnibus with
double IS" He said it wasn't right,
and when Brighten insisted, he offer
ed to uphold BungtOwn with the

mothers, rolling pins, alabaster shoul- |

said she'd be ours. We figured up
how we could keep house on $3.50
per week and have a dollar left; just
bow the woodbine would twine over

this same ruling will apply to great

an instrument through which it could


manifest to the world at large its public
position, and now we find springing up
here and there an organ especially de-
voted to the interests of this movement,
developed as necessity to meet its
needs, which must be free and untram


meled by any element foreign to the ad-
vancement Of its purpose. A failure
upon our part in this direction implies
defeat, for the world outside must be
reached that we may be heard and un-
derstood, and also that we may help
each other through the aid Of ideas and
experiences as well as posting in regard
to political movements and wire pulling

itself into place in our midst. There is
much to be done and o,sr press must

The disregard Of the railroad law Of

and if persisted in will lead to disas.

the corporations are, they are not strong

(People, put this in your pipe and

the question, what shall we do about it :?
Shall it be said that the New York CAPT.
talists can bluff off a million people? That
is just what they are trying to do. There
is one thing certain, these New York

menced fooling with, and when they

result in sending Legislature to Madi-
son next winter, that will repeal their
