  Renovated 
  Buttek. 
  

  

  The 
  high 
  price 
  of 
  dairy 
  butter 
  induced 
  the 
  importation 
  of 
  reno- 
  

   vated 
  butter 
  from 
  other 
  States. 
  The 
  product 
  is 
  so 
  nearly 
  like 
  

   creamery 
  butter 
  that 
  considerable 
  skill 
  is 
  required 
  in 
  detecting 
  

   the 
  fraud. 
  This 
  nefarious 
  traffic 
  has 
  just 
  begun 
  in 
  this 
  section, 
  

   and 
  should 
  daiiy 
  butter 
  advance 
  in 
  price 
  I 
  have 
  no 
  doubt 
  but 
  that 
  

   large 
  quantities 
  will 
  be 
  shipped 
  into 
  our 
  larger 
  cities 
  and 
  towns, 
  

   but 
  willful 
  violations 
  will 
  be 
  prosecuted 
  to 
  the 
  full 
  extent 
  of 
  

   the 
  law. 
  

  

  But 
  three 
  cases 
  of 
  violation 
  in 
  the 
  vinee-ar 
  law 
  has 
  occurred 
  

   in 
  this 
  division, 
  and 
  these 
  were 
  all 
  in 
  Utica. 
  All 
  promptly 
  paid 
  

   the 
  penalty. 
  

  

  This 
  year, 
  to 
  the 
  farmers, 
  has 
  been 
  one 
  of 
  prosperity. 
  Milk, 
  

   cheese 
  and 
  farm 
  products 
  have 
  commanded 
  good 
  prices; 
  better 
  

   than 
  for 
  many 
  a 
  year. 
  This 
  in 
  turn, 
  has 
  had 
  its 
  effect 
  upon 
  farm 
  

   lands, 
  creating 
  a 
  demand 
  for 
  farms, 
  and 
  better 
  prices, 
  which 
  is 
  

   gratifying 
  to 
  all. 
  

  

  Xo 
  infectious 
  diseases 
  have 
  invaded 
  this 
  section 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  in 
  

  

  cattle, 
  sheep 
  or 
  swine. 
  

  

  Respectfully 
  submitted,

  JAMES 
  OWEXS, 
  

  

  Assistant 
  Commissioner.
