390 IMPORTATION OF HORSES INTO CAPE COLONY. 

Margarine sold wholesale must be in receptacles surrounded 
by a bright red band 2—4 inches wide, with ‘‘ Margarine” 
in black letters on every face, or, if the receptacle has a con- 
tinuous curved surface, the word must be repeated four times, 
so as to be visible in every position. 
Regulations are also laid down for the determination of 
abnormal butter, which may not be sold. Abnormal 
butter is defined as butter which cannot with certainty 
be declared adulterated, spoiled, or rancid, but which gives 
at least two peculiar results in six specified tests. 
Vendors of margarine may not use the words milk, butter, 
cream, or derivatives of these words, on their packages, nor 
any designs or illustrations recalling anything connected with 
the milk or butter industry. Butter containing more than 18 
per cent. of substances (water, lactose, casein) other than fatty 
and colouring matters and salt can only be sold as “ Milky 
Butter.” Butter and margarine made with milk of which 
the sale is prohibited, or with the addition of antiseptics or 
glycerine, are considered injurious and may not be sold. 
This applies also to margarine (in so far as it is prepared 
from fats of butcher's meat) which has not been made or 
imported in conformity with the provisions regulating the 
meat trade.
