sold in salt lake without ony on solicitation on our part we have received several inquiries for butter askin asking 0 for several hundred pounds a week at prices much beyond y ond what a great many of the fa banners are gett getting iril and tak taking in their pay in trade it seems to me file that all thee facts teach each a very strong lesson here is is a range 0 of price even in utah all the

is no money in ill cows some successful dair dairyman vinall will combat this idea but I 1 dont I 1 think those people are but giving I 1 ivin 0 the results or of their own experience there is do money in the cows they keep or in the manner that they core care for them and their pro product duci that bo however wever is in the man not in the business its as we can see if we carry out some of tho the facts given iu in tt the e market report here is a lierd herd that averages average one half pound of butter a day for eight e months of the year thus giving pounds of butter sold at at an average price ol of 12 cents per pound you nearly always see poor price ani an I poor cow go to 0 asther netting 0 1140 1 froni from the cow fur for the teason eason t another herd of cows properly selected and fed will ave average ae C one pound bound of butter a day for ten months or 00 pounds of butter a year the man who breeds and keeps such a herd has brains enough to produce an article that will net him once lie ile hai his business established 20 cents a pound for his butter or 50 a year from each cow one good cow cau can I 1 think be kept during the summer upon ono one acre of well watered pasture land under our conditional Is IB there anything elbe that will produce as much intili per acre c on the average farm we ve hope to present some pome facts of our own experience on oil this point at a future time in the elgin in dairy report of I 1 august 11 I 1 notice a letter from fro biou B J hainer of nebraska in reference to the favorable report of the committee on oil agriculture on the clout bill placing butt butter erand and cheese imitations ull under the police laws lawi of states into which it is transported even in ili original packages 0 the rhe report is temperate in its language a law prohibiting the manufacture and sale of oleo eleo is not desired but that it should be sold and eaten for exactly acal v what it is this is it ii matter not without to tile the producers and consumers of dairy products in utah when hen in ill salt lake a few months a ago 0 I 1 heard a gentleman well acquainted with the business say that the great majority of the hotels and restaurants of that cit calv at that time used oleo lbs ibs sold old in the city and probably a pound of it eaten for other than dairy or creamery butter As to the method of manufacture I 1 can learn but little it is ho however moa laidely produced in ill the II 11 lir r ie e e I 1 I 1 t 1 h t e I 1 i I 1 1 liou 0 tv e in ill Chic chicago igo I 1 kansas ansas city and nd from arom r the

good butter which has a de delicate defecate lecate though a pleasant flavor but for the saine reason it is ahead of poor butter in that particular as poor butter always gives itself away As the majority m gjori ty of the people never tate taste tho the delicate flavors of butter an article that is tasteless appears just BR as good as the finest now what is the objection to oleo Is it the detriment that it is to butter butler manufacturer or is it from the unhealthful product from which we nye deedre to protect the poor poo r this is a question asked by a lady at new yolk state dairy mens association quoted ed by hoards dairyman and answered substantially as follows the principal objection tooled to oleo is that it is a counterfeit i it is made in inexact exact imitation of butter placed before the consumer as such even given iven such names cairies as ai factory dairy clairy dairy and cream ery butter its aim is not to make a market for itself under its own name but to make use of the market already created by the aret I 1 reat dairy industry of the country few people have any idea of the magnitude 0 it is conceded that the dairy industry for 1389 represented fully fulia an all income of and that the capital invested in ill ferms cows dairy apparatus etc represents a sum suin not less than twice as r great as any other industry with the exception named and ten tell times as great as many that clamor for recognition at the hands hand of legislators it is preeminently pre eminently the busi bui ns nes of the small farmer fc irmer it is an industry that is national in its extent and magnitude I 1 and it therefore seems to be justified in demanding that butter bulter imitations should hould be sold for what they tire arc that they should be prevented from appropriating t tho the dress and name of the V genuine ci luine article alioe who prefer deodorizer deodorized fat tal tallow loir lard and cotton seed oil by all means let them u uhe se it but those who object to having such stuff craded down their r th throats when they ak a k for butter should have some protection tec tion but is it healthy in 1884 the new york legislature passed a an 11 act inquiring into the eject act of the use of oleo upon the human system tle abe oleo oil was treated ii ith a U ui aci th e ferment by experts in court it wis was found that heat beat could not be
