Bogus Butter and Hard Times

THERE is said to be at least 150 manufactories of bogus butter in the United States. In 1885 they exported 38,000,000 pounds of the stuff, an increase of 18,000,000 pounds over 1880. In 1885 there was exported 21,638,000 pounds of genuine butter, a decrease of 18,000,000 pounds from 1880. Comments are unnecessary. No wonder the dairymen complain of hard times.—Sel.
