NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 995.
(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
MISBRANDING OF CHEESE.
On February 8, 1911, the United States Attorney for the Western 
District of Kentucky, acting upon the report by the Secretary of 
Agriculture, filed a libel for seizure and condemnation in the District 
Court of the United States against 50 boxes of cheese, each contain- 
ing one cheese, in possession of The Silverhill Butter & Cheese Co. 
(Inc.), Louisville, Ky., alleging that the product had been transported, 
on or about January 30, 1911, from the State of Wisconsin into the 
State of Kentucky, and charging misbranding in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act. Each box was branded- "Mayflower Fancy Full 
Cream Cheese—Silverhili Butter & Cheese Co., Louisville, Ky." 
And there was a penciled number on each package indicating the net 
weight. The total of the weights indicated on these boxes amounted 
to 1,153 pounds.
Examination by the Bureau of Chemistry of this Department 
showed the total weight to be only 1,113 pounds 11 ounces, and no 
single box to be of the weight marked on the package. Misbranding 
was alleged for the reason that the actual net weight of the cheese 
contained in each of said packages was less than the weight indicated 
on the outside of said packages, and the contents stated in terms of 
weight or measure were therefore not plainly and correctly stated.
On March 4, 1911, the claim of the Silverhill Butter & Cheese Co. 
was filed. Judgment of condemnation was entered on the same 
date, and after payment of the costs by the S. J. Stevens Co., Sheboy- 
gan, Wis., the shippers, and the tendering of a bond by that company 
in conformity to section 10 of the act, placed by the court at $200, 
28 boxes of the cheese, being all that were seized by the marshal, were 
ordered released and delivered to that company.

Secretary of Agriculture.
