imitation or semblance of the better commodity. While there 

 is considerable skim cheese made in the State, I believe it to be 

 pure skim cheese. We have had a little difficulty with some of the 

 manufacturers of this commodity for using the State full cream 

 cheese brand upon skim cheese, having made two cases during the 

 year; the parties, however^, did not stand trial and paid the penalty. 

 The cases are reported among other cases prosecuted. I believe 

 that the law relative to the cheese brand is a good one, and as 

 time goes on it has demo'nstrated the wisdom of its enactment, as 

 the brand is becoming to be a guaranty of the purity of the 

 product. 



During the year cheese brands have been issued to the following 

 factories, the demand for them continuing unabated, on account 

 of the demand for a product bearing them.
