BUTTERINE.
The question of butterine and margarine consumption has for us in New Zealand something more than mere academic interest. The import trade is increasing, and it is for tbedairy farmer and the public to look the matter squarely in the face to de mand that every ounce of these substitutes for butter should be sold on their merits for what they are worth. The trade and manufacture may be legitimate enough. But the moment an attempt i® made to mix the commodity with butter in order to deceive the consumer the law should st°p in and take a hand. With the new year the Pu-eg Foods Bill of 1907 comes into active operation, remarks the "Nelbon Mail," and if the provisions of fcltet measure be not sufficiently adequate to cope with new conditions that have arisen it may have to be amended in the necessai'y direction.
