13414.   Adulteration    of    butter.      IT.    S.    v.    Jacob    Fachingrer    (Lanesville 
Creamery  Co.).     Plea  of  guilty.     Fine,  $100  and  costs.      (F.   &  D.
No. 19230.    I. S. No. 4225-v.)
On May 15, 1925, the grand jurors of the United States within and for the 
District of Indiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
upon presentment by the United States attorney for said district, returned in 
the District Court of the United States for said district an indictment against 
Jacob Fachinger, trading as the Lanesville Creamery Co., Lanesville, Ind., 
charging shipment by said defendant, in violation of the food and drugs act, 
in two consignments, namely, on June 4 and 5, 1923, respectively, from the 
State of Indiana into the State of Illinois, of quantities of butter which was 
adulterated.
Analysis by the Bureau of Chemistry of this department of a sample of the 
article showed that the average milk fat of 5 subdivisions was 78.18 per cent.
Adulteration of the article was charged in' the indictment for the reason 
that a product deficient in milk fat, in that it contained less than 80 per cent 
by weight of milk fat, had been substituted for butter, a product which should 
contain not less than 80 per cent by weight of milk fat, as prescribed by the 
act of March 4, 1923, which the said article purported to be.
On May 23, 1925, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the indictment, 
and the court imposed a fine of $100 and costs.
R. TV. DUNLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
