garine?” the buyer may aslc “Oh! late but. 
terine,” would be a convenient answer; but 
even the grocers’ special London organ doesn’t 
think this legally sufficient. Like other Eng¬ 
lish laws the Margarine Act is likely to be 
strictly enforced so long as it remains on the 
statute books, for “they do those things better” 
in England than they do here . 
In France it is forbidden to expoH« for sale, 
to sell, to import, or to export under the name 
of buttorine any such substance as margar¬ 
ine, oleomargarine, or any substance intended 
as a substitute for butter, as well as any mix¬ 
ture of margarine, fat, oil, or other sub¬ 
stances with butter, uo matter how small the 
proportion of the mixture may be. Very se¬ 
vere penalties are imposed on any violation of 
this law. All sales of bogus butter must lie 
“open and above board” under the names of 
"margarine,” “oleomargarine,” or “animal 
fat,” conspicuously displayed on the contain¬ 
ing package... 
Experience in England, according to the 
Farmer’s Gazette, shows the pure Jersey is 
somewhat delicate, aud when out of milk 
gives little protit. for grazing purposes; 
whereas a Short-lorn-Jersey, a Kussex Jer¬ 
sey, or a Kerry Jersey is nearly, if not quite, 
equal to a pure Jersey for rnilk, and a much 
more hardy, serviceable auimal for general 
purposes... 
In her speech, from the throne, on the late 
adjournment of Parliament, Queen Victoria 
said there were some grounds for hoping that 
the grave depression under which the com¬ 
mercial and manufacturing interests of the 
country had for so long been laboring would 
soon lie somewhat alleviated, but that there 
is no mitigation of the suffering under which 
large portions of the agricultural community 
continue to labor. The English papers fully 
agree with this opinion which the Ministers 
put in the Queen’s mouth. Indeed, the gen¬ 
eral belief is that the agricultural gloom in 
the United Kingdom is deepening. 
At a large meeting of workingmen lately 
held in the East End of London, no sentiment 
won louder applause than a resolution to 
“support the home labor of the country 
against the pauperized foreign labor of Eu¬ 
rope.” Sounds like a “protective” resolution 
by the iron-workers of Pennsylvania, doesn’t 
it?. 
that county in 1885 and 188(1, with less trouble 
than 1,000 bushels to-day. And so of apples— 
there is not 10 per cent, of a crop, and not 
one apple in a hundred without worms, past 
or present. And yet the county is credited 
with 20 to 00 per cent, of a . ' ■ 
Mr. J. J. Thomas points out in the same 
good,old journal, that the Baldwin among ap¬ 
ples, still stands at the head of the list in sev¬ 
eral of the eastern States, and every attempt 
for the past lifty years to supersede it has 
proved u failure. The Rhode Island Greening 
closely follows it. At the West, the Ben Da¬ 
vis, a fruit of poor flavor, bus a corresponding 
position. The Bartlett among pears (a for¬ 
eigner), has no equal for popularity in early 
autumn. The Early Crawford holds a simi¬ 
lar place with peaches, although hardly equal 
m delicacy of flavor to the finest white-flesh 
varieties. The Lombard plum stands at the 
head of the productive plums. Attempts 
were made for nearly twenty years to dis¬ 
place the Wilson strawberry, and it is only of 
late years that, in some localities the Crescent 
and Downing have token its place, while the 
popularity of the Sharpless is still only local. 
The Concord grape still holds its position. 
Samuel Miller says that the Golden Beau¬ 
ty of Paradise(I|, a new variety of crab, is 
about the size of the Yellow Siberian crab 
aud no better in nny way. 
It appears, from reports received by the 
Gardeners' Chronicle from all parts of Great 
Britain, that “ou the whole the fruit crops 
for the whole country are satisfactory.”. 
Mu. Allen Root remarked at the Second 
Annual Convention of the Nebraska Dairy¬ 
men’s Association, that the farmers have raised 
wheat until they are poor; they have raised 
wheat at a dollar a bushel when they could 
buy the same article at from forty to sixty 
cents. How long can we live at that ? They 
have raised corn until the land is too poor to 
raise more. They have sold corn and wheat 
until they are all under mortgage. 
This is the condition in which Nebraska 
farmers find themselves to-day. They must 
have change; must have change in some 
manner in which they can make something 
over a bare li viug. They must ship their corn 
and grain in butter aud cheese. 
Ik we take cattle raising—feeding fifty or 
thirty cent corn to four cent stock, do farmers 
make anything out of that ?. 
D. P. Ash BURN said that we must raise the 
grade of farm butter. There has been a large 
demand created by wiping oleomargariue out, 
which must be met. Now, taking tho average 
article of butter which is produced on the farms 
of Nebraska add the average article of oleo¬ 
margarine, and he prefers the oleomargarine to 
the butter, uot because ho thinks it is fit to cat, 
but because he thinks it is more wholesome aud 
equally palatable. He does not wish to stig¬ 
matize farm butter, but he wishes to say that 
the grade of farm butter must be raised before 
it can come into competition with oleomar¬ 
garine... 
There has been taken, Mr. Ashburn con¬ 
tinued, from the market a million pounds of 
oleomargarine; there will be sold a million 
pounds less of oleomargarine this summer 
than there was last. Here is an increased de¬ 
maud; there must be Something to take tho 
place of this oleomargarine. “Shall we stand 
iu the ridiculous positiou of dogs in the man¬ 
ger—sny wo won’t lot you cat oleomargarine, 
neither will we produce an article to take its 
place?”........ .... 
Rev. Geo. SCOTT said that it is something 
over 15 years since he came to Nebraska. In 
the part of Nebraska iu which he located they 
raised wheat then. In that neighborhood 
there were two brothers on farms, both situat 
etl alike, both equally energetic. The first of 
these men continued to grow wheat and the 
o her went into cattle. Tho one got rich and 
the other continued poor . 
Now wbnt wo want to do, continued Mr. 
Scott, is to go into that which w ill pay. A 
while ago t hey said it was stock raising; now 
we must have creameries in every town. 
Suppose every man goes into stock raising; 
who is going to raise our small grain? if 
every man becomes a butter producer, where 
are the butter consumers to come from? 
There must lie some limit to this matter, or 
else you will overstock the market with 
butter; then the railroads will be cursed be¬ 
cause they will uot carry it to the seaboard 
for nothing. There has been an overproduc¬ 
tion of small grain, hence the price has been 
going down for 80 years. Grain lias never 
been so cheap as it is now; but don’t charge 
it all to the railroads... 
Under the uew law English grocers, after 
next, New Year’s Day, if they sell “olto” at 
all, must do so under its new name of mar¬ 
garine. If a customer asks for butterine, it is 
thought that the seller must tell him that he 
has only nwirariue for sale, “What’s roar¬ 
ing w'ord with which feeders should lie 
familiar.
