climate the cotton growers of India are
not able to produce more than seventy
five pounds TO the acre. while the aver
age American crops is 175 pounds. 1t is
said that the cost of cultivating an acre
of cotton on India is equal to the cost
of cultivating the same area in this

formidable rival to the United
States in her export of cotton, but
most of her product is now consumed
at home.

THE New York Medical Record urges
the disuse altogether of unsterilized
cows milk as food for young children,
insisting that more harm than good
comes from such food. The Record is
of the opinion that cows milk is a
fruitful source of much of the tubercu-
losis that now curses humanity, that in
the very young the tubercles do not
attack the lungs as at mature age,
but the mesenteric and other lymph
glands The point is made that in
Japan, where there are no cows,
tuberculosis is unknown.
