This “fake” will unquestionably i
find supporters and some will buy
the process because the product “can
be sold as creamery butter, as there
is no law to stop it.”
We repeat that this process of
making something in imitation of
butter will find supporters just as
the oleo fraud, another “secret pro
cess” of making something in imita
tion of butter, has found supporters
in the South, and if a little cotton
seed oil is put in it to swell the sales,
however slightly, some of the oil mill
men can be counted on to support
this fraud as they are the eleo fraud,
which has for years masqueraded as
butter. The essential point in all
these products is that they are made
in imitation of butter and sold aa
’ such. Without this deception thej
I’ would never have been able to sell
the stuff on the markets. Either the
dealer or the consumer, or both.
nust be deceived to make Bale of all
;hese products made in imitation of
cutter.
We warn all our friends against
this new fake, or an old fake in new
clothing, which purports to oome
from W. R. Smith, Scranton, Miss.
This process may be all that is
claimed for it, just as the oleo is a
good wholesome product; but to sell
either is to be a party to a fraud,
for it can not be freely sold eseopt
as butter and because it looks like
butter. This it is not, hence, if sold
las butter it is a fraud, no matter
what its value as a food product.

Most Sore Shoulders Caused by Ill
Fitting Collars — Special Care
Needed for the Young Horse.
The care of the shoulders of
young horses is one of the most im
portant factors to keep In mind dur
ing the first few weeks of work. A
horse can not do satisfactory work
with Bhoulders that pain him every
time he takes a step.
Most injured shoulders are the re
sult of poorly fitting collars, and the
fault usually lies in a collar being
too large. It is a good idea to have
a harness maker fit the collar to
your horses. He may be able to re
move padding and in other ways
make the collar over so that it will
fit nicely. Heavy collar pads are to
be avoided if possible. They are hot ,
and cause the shoulder to sweat;
this keeps the pad and shoulder wet,
and the skin becomes soft and blis
i>via caoii/« j
Dirty collars are probably as re- (
sponsible for sore shoulders as ill- <
fitting ones. In the spring the j
horse’s hair is long and holds large i
quantities of dirt and scales from the j
skin. He is soft from lack of work
and sweats profusely. This forms a '
gummy dirt that adheres to the col
Ur and makes, when dry, a hard,
rough surface. The ordinary farm ,
hand feels that his duty is done
if he scrapes the dirt from the
collar with the back of his
Jackknife. This method, however,
U not an especially good one
for the leather of the collar, and a
smooth surface is not left. A damp
sponge used in the evening as soon
as the collar is taken off will, in one
or two minutes, remove the dirt.
This may be followed by an oiled
rag; if this is done, the collar, the
next morning should be soft and
smooth.
Careless driving, jerking a horse
out of the furrow and into it again,
allowing him to work with his head
around on one side, all tend to pro
duce sore shoulders.
Of course, the first precaution to
take is not to ask the colt to do a
full day’s work until he learns
something about his Job and ceases
to fret The shoulder will then

a good idea to sponge the shoulders
with cold water—Just plain cold wa
ter. Alum water has been used to
good advantage; also weak solutions
of tannic acid. Alcohol tends to
toughen the skin.
Injuries to the top of the neck
very frequently terminate in fistulas,
withers, etc. A blister near the
point of the shoulder is likely to be
come what is known as a "cold ab
scess.” Ill-fitting collars and poor
drivers are equally resposible for a
condition known as “sweeny."
If an accident occurs and in spite
of careful attention a horse s shoul
der becomes injured, do not wait
until a fistula has developed, or an
abscess has formed, or the animal
Is "sweenied," but seek the advice of
a veterinarian while there is still a
chance to check the progress of the
injury.—Prof. H. E. Kingman, Col
orado Agricultural College.
Keep the Hogs Clean.
There are still theorists and un
thinking people who tell us a mud
hole or hog wallow Is advantageous
to the hog. There are even writers
for agricultural papers—so-called—
that wisely (?) tell us to follow
nature and give the hogs a wallow
If the hog was still in his “natural"
state it might be reasonable to sup
pose we should raise him under “nat
ural” conditions, but by environment,
breeding, selection and feeding we
have changed the hog, and he needs
changed conditions to do his best
Any real hog breeder, who has tried
it, knows that the hog grows faster
and keeps in better health with pure
water to drink, good sound feed and
the best and cleanest surroundings
The hog may be able to withstand
the disease favoring influences of the
wallow and similar filthy conditions
to a larger extent than man and some
of the domestic animals, but such un
sanitary surroundings are Injurious
to all rlike.
Meeting of Mississippi Live Stock
Association.
ro the Members of the Live Stock
and Dairy Association and the
Farmers of Mississippi.
Gentlemen: At a meeting of the

Vi i i UQ VCCO ui Lilt? A. K ill -
College, on May 4th, Prof. Archibald
Smith, our Secretary, was removed
rom his position of Professor of An
mal Husbandry at the A. & M. Col
ege. His removal as Professor of
tnimal Husbandry of the College,
ilso removes him from membership
>n the State Live Stock Sanitary
3oard and deprives the State of his
services as director of the work of
hat Board in tick eradication and
>ther lines, for which the State has
•ecently made a liberal appropriation.
There is absolutely no charge that
Is or can be made against Professoi
Smith, personally or officially, whlcl
has the Shadow of a fact for its sup
port. His removal is plainly to gei
control of the patronage of the LJv«
Stock Sanitary Board. I regard thic
prostitution of the work of the Live
Stock Sanitary Board to political pur
poses and the removal of Prof. Smith
from the sphere of work for which he
Is so splendidly equipped, as of such
vital importance to the live stock
interests of the State that with the
approval of a majority of the Board
3f Directors, I hereby call a special
meeting of the Mississippi Live Stock
and Dairy Association at Starkville,
Saturday, May 28th, at 2 p. m., to
consider these matters, and to take
3uch steps relating thereto as may,
in the wisdom of the Association,
seem proper.
Respectfully,
TAIT BUTLER,
President Mississippi Live Stock and

Another “Near-Butter” lake.
A friend at Port Gibson, Miss.,
sends us a circular letter which pur
ports to come from a man by the
name of Smith at Scranton, Miss.,
offering to sell a secret process for
making a product in imitation of
butter. In offering this secret (?)
process this would-be vendor of a
fake process for making oleo, but
terine, or some other like product to
put on the market to deceive the
public, says: ‘‘I have a Becret pro
cess whereby you can make 2 pounds
of butter from 1 pound without
using any drugs whatsoever. By my
secret process the butter doubles
both in weight and bulk. The butter
treated by this process can not be
told from regular creamery butter,
that you are selling every day in
your store. It can be sold for cseam
ery butter as there is no law tc
stop it.” , 4 _ ,
This circular letter is printed one
at both top and bottom has tho name
“W. R- Smith.”
