4492, all from the same cow, with about 8 weeks intervening between 

 the making of the first and last samples, were examined. 



The melting point, the volatile fatty acid of these samples and the 

 reading of the refractometer on them, indicated an abnormal butter, 

 and they were at first thought probably to be adulterated, but on 

 investigation it was learned that the cow from which it had been 

 made had been fed on a ration largely cotton seed, which explained 

 the results. 



All the six samples of the renovated butter were properly labeled, 

 but ISTo. 3841 was retailed from a tub, and was sold by the retail 

 dealer for butter. The retailers often speak of renovated butter as 

 "tub butter" or "cooking butter." There can be little doubt that it is 

 often bought and eaten without the purchaser or consumer knowing 

 that it is the renovated article. However, it is a violation of the 

 Food Law to offer it for sale as butter. 



All the samples examined come within the standards, and no adul- 

 teration was found.
