The milk this year has been of better quality; richer in butter 

 fats than usual. I believe also that dairymen are taking more 

 care in milking and taking care of it afterward, such as strain- 

 ing and aerating and cooling the same. 



OLEOMARGARINE. 



In this division every effort has been made to prevent the 

 nefarious traffic in oleomargarine. The shipments are gener- 

 ally made from the west east, thence north up in the Adiron- 

 dacks and taken into camps of the forest, and consumed by lum- 

 bermen. 



One great difficulty in getting a sample is this: There are 

 many places on the railroad, that trains stop at on signal only, 

 and oleomargarine, with other freight, is dropped on the ground, 

 and away the train goes, leaving the freight. It is soon re- 

 moved into the forest and is generallv verv difficult to find.
