In the bankrupt act, has a technical meaning. It does not include every person who manufactures. A farmer is not a manufacturer because he makes butter and cheese for sale from the milk of his own cows; but, if the making butter and cheese becomes his principal business, on a scale requiring him to buy, he is a manufacturer. The publishers and conductors of a daily newspaper, and a job-printing office connected therewith, in which are made cards, bill-heads, show-bills, &c., are manufacturers, within the meaning of the bankrupt act. Matter of Kenyon, 1 Utah T. 47; 6 Bankr. Reg. 238. One who prepares for market and sells lumber, the growth of his own land, is a "manufacturer," within the meaning of the bankrupt act. Re Chandler, 1 Low. 478.
