During the past few weeks produce firms in Toronto. doubtless with the best intentions, but without authori- ty from this department, have lean sending the following notice to tkeir correspondents in the country: All butter in packages or wrapped in parchment paper must in future be label’led “Dairy" 01' “Creamery." This means no butter can be bought or sold in plain wrappers or in un- branded packages. No butter Can ‘be sold or bought under brand of “Sepâ€" arator.” The word “Dairy” 01‘ The information in the above no- tice is not quite correct. The regula- tions made under the authority of the dairy industry act, 1914, came in- to force on September 1, and provid- ed that when dairy butter is put up in blocks, Squares or prints and wrappers in parchment paper, the pa- per shall be printed or branded with the. words “Dairy Butter." in letters at teast one-quarter inch Square. in addition to any other wording that the butter-maker may desire to use. Thugs is nothing in the law or regu- Iat’ins to prevent the use of the word “Separator" in addition to the words “Dairy Butter”, ‘but no such grade of butter as "Separator” is recognized by the law. The butter act of 1903 defined only two gradesâ€"- namely, “Dairy" and “Creamery." The dairy indUStry act of 1314 definâ€" es a. third grade as “Whey” butter. Buttermakers may use any form of printing or branding. including the words “Dairy Butter”, which is not inconsistent with the definition of dairy butter. Butter in rams, crocks or tubs is‘not required to be brand- ed. Dairy butter in SIS-pound boxes must also be branded "Dairy But- ter.” Failing to comply with the Eabove Government act, you are liable to a fine of $10 to $30 for each offence. For further information write to the Department of Agriculture, Otta- wa. and ask for copy of the dairy industry act, 1914, Bulletin No. 42. “Creamery" must appear on pack- age. The _underlying principle of this legislation is protection to the con- sumer, the honest buttermaker and the honest trader. The whole object of the law is 'to preventmxlsrepresen- tation.

To begin with, I am laid up for a day or two by a horse which thought he WOUld like to see whe- ther his legs would reach mine. He satisfied me, but he. did not satisfy himself. for within him minutes he had reached two other fellows. much to his rider's diagust and their grief. The brute was thexi‘ ordered out of the lines, but that didn't do me any ‘good, although I kept on riding until I wrenched my leg do- ing a sharp turn while practising at the dummies. and then I fell ofi. and haw: reported on the sick list. As the real fun is just starting, 1 hope to be out again in a day or so. Despite frequent showers we are all happy. although a stranger com. ing amongst us would think we the worst bunch of men ever put un- der canvas. for. from morning to night we're grouching, grouching. grouching. but asrit is a. soldier’s privilege to grouch. nobody pays any attention to it. Our tent hasa 11*» the song- to the tune of the ' first hymn which rings out when wv grouch over the average. It runs thus: ”Grouching, grouchi'ng. grouching, Always blooming well grouching, From ‘reveille' r0 ‘lights out' We're grouching all the time We have got dowa to work pretty well now, and we went down to Netheravon Barrack» ‘119 other day, where the riding sch 0 was placed at our disposal. and m hqd lots of fun jumping hurdlés. etc. :mr hr rs- es. of course, are grcpa. and two- thirds of them have lived only . the “simplelife,” until théy 3th the army. and now they have w be taught, so everything being strange to them, makes it more exciting to go over these jumps. When we are riding around the‘ parade grounds and see the infantry? hard at it and their officers plugg- ing away with them, I think of Bruce and think to myself that though .Lt pxesent we haw. 'it harder than Ithe infantry for, rain or shine, our horses need *to- be cared for, when we rid-e and they walk, .the l”difi”‘ is made up. Bruce can _ give THE LINDSAY POST ‘an oflicer’s yarn, but in tho end, the man in the ranks gives the bgat- iter one. Well, if the boys were in the tent, they would say that I must have a great flow of “rag'tbought” to write so much. but the opportunity must not be lost. All the boys of the tent wish me to thank you for the "Globe,” which you can imagine we grasped eagerly, I have sent you our regi- mental paper, out of which you can get the names of all the officers, so I won't repeat them. So far none of the boys have pull- ed ofi any of Henty's"stunts," but we have a gOOd bunch, and one that will give a. good account of them- selves. In London, the name of Canada has been disgraced, by ubunch of “bohunks," and the majority of the boys find it hard to retrieve our honor. but we hope to do so on the battlefield. It certainly is hard that abunch of fellows on leave can't act like the men they profess to be and not like abunch of five- yearâ€"olds, but as the old saying goes, “There are black she-3p in ev- ery fold."

In those early days of railroading in Canada. the old Great Western line from Nigg- gem Falls to Sarnia was a particuâ€" larly profitable field for conductors who were not hampered ‘by conscien- tious scruples, and one of the most notorious among these was Pete Shaw, who, besides being a conduct- or, carried on a. commission business of his own. He kept no account of his receipts, but put into one pocket ill the currency he received during the day. A friend who noted this. en- quired how he knew the amount he ought to turn in to the company at the end ot’his run, and this was Pete's explanation: “You see, when I get home. I take'the money out of ‘mypocket and throw it against the wall, and all that sticks to the wall goes to the company. and all that falls to the floor comes to me."- HUW BfiNUUBIflH fllVlflEfl HEEEIPIS (Special to The Post.)
