As a matter of fact, nractlrnlly all winter but ter Is coloied, so Is the bulk of summer butter, to heighten Its rich uuncurancc, ir nuiter is nutter, then wnv oo tno inc torles add a deeper color to it? There Is no copyright on tho tint. Hut the dairy peopio ask congress to Issue to them a color patent in tho form of a national statute. A pure, natural colored, rich dairy butter is ono thing. A poor, waxy, cold tnr col ored preparation, with Its poverty and tallowy UDDonranco covered ut with nos trums and dyes, and then fostered upon tho public for what It appears to be, Is another matter. Tho great bulk of tho butter so:d Is of this poor, whte, waxy kind. It Is simply flavored with cultures and brightened by art. 1 will sten In further and say that there Is scarcely a high grndo butter whether winter or summer made which hns not both nrtltlclnl flavor and artificial color In It. Tho purpose of these delusions Is to appeal moro strongly to the sense of sight and tno senso or taste or tno purchaser. why should butter alone have this nrtui clal color right? Tho market Is full of fraudulent butter nnd butter fakes, and It Is not ole margarine, cither. itenovateii butter is the best or tho frauds. There Is moro renovated butter mndo In th s country than thero Is ole tnurgarlne, and this kind of busturd butter making is on the Increase. The makers went so far iu to steal tho model of tho packages specially designed by the Depart ment of Agriculture for export butter and then ruined our export butter trade.
