consin, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District 
Court of the United States for the district aforesaid an information against 
Arthur J. Nelson and Herbert C. Loehndorf, copartners, trading as the Bagley 
Creamery, Bagley, Wis., alleging shipment by said defendant in violation of 
the Food and Drugs Act, on or about August 5, 1931, from the State of Wis- 
consin into the State of Illinois, of a quantity of butter that was adulterated.
It was alleged in the information that the article was adulterated in that 
a product which contained less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been 
substituted for butter, a product which should contain not less than 80 percent 
by weight of milk fat as prescribed by the act of March 4, 1923.
