ON BUTTERMAKING 49 



Factory butter is butter that is collected in rolls, 

 lumps, crocks, and such forms, and reworked by a 

 dealer or shipper. 



Packing-stock butter is butter that is originally 

 farm-made, reworked without additional moisture 

 or salt. 



Grease butter is made up of all butter that classes 

 below third grade on the market. It must be free 

 from adulteration. 



What is oleomargarine? 



The United States law defines oleomargarine as 

 any substance containing animal or vegetable fats 

 or oils, or any such products made in imitation or 

 semblance of butter, or when so made calculated or 

 intended to be used or sold as butter. 



What are the laws of the United States regarding 

 oleomargarine ? 



The laws on this substance are so changeable 

 that it is impossible to give any set law for any 

 state in such a book as this. 



Some states prevent the manufacture of oleomar- 

 garine, others allow it to be manufactured if it is 

 labeled and sold as oleomargarine, and a tax of so 

 much per pound is paid, while still others do not 

 require any tax. Some states, too, have laws pre- 

 venting the use of coloring in products made in 

 imitation of butter. In fact, the manufacturers of 

 these products are so ingenious that they keep law- 

 makers busy in controlling them. The following 

 extract from the laws of New York state give j 

 good idea of the nature of an oleomargarine law—
