STANDARD FOR MILK.

Why should milk that contains
much cream be accounted the best!
Cream is only fat, and we do not rate
the food-value of meats solely by the
amount of fat that they include, says
Literary Digest DR.. J. 0. Gilbert,
writing in the Medical Record" New
York;, takes the view that this devo-
ito INTO rich milk has no logical
basis. In our earnest search after
a fat milk, he says, We have probably
gone too far. We quote from an edl'
torial in 1.-The Hospital" Uondon, No
vember I'D which notes DR.. Gilberts
opinion appreciatively:-
1.-THE milk which is richest in cream
is not, therefore, the most nutritious,
for the very simple reason that
rich milk is less easily digested and
absorbed than a milk in which the
fat percentage is low. AS far as Its
other constituents are concerned, a
milk poor in fat is as valuable food
as milk rich in fat. The fat percent
age, the popular standard by which
milk is judged, is most valuable while
the proportions of the albIminoids,
sugars, and salts vary but little in
the different samples of milk. In 9TH
er words, while the energy-produclng
and heat-giving qualities of the sew
eral kinds of milk may be great or
little, the valuable proteid ingredients,
which go to the building-up of the It's
sues-the prime property of any food
remain very much the same in all
varieties of cows milk. Thus thin
milk is for all purposes, save for en-
ergy and heat production, as valuable
food as the so-called rich milk In
deed, it not infrequently happens as
the experimental feeding of young
growing animals has shown, that a
thin milk may prove, in the long run,
more flesh forming than a rich milk,
inasmuch as the former is less liable
to induce gastroenteric disorders. Lett
us consider what this means. 1t
means, first of all, that the enormous
quantity Of skim-milk produced in this
country could be turned to more econ
omical use than the feeding of animals
or the manufacture of ivory for table
knives and piano keys. The despised
skin-milk is valuable article of food,
capable of supplying many Of the
wants of the organism, and from its
lightness and dgestibility, peculiarly
ers are debilitated. 1t means, that but
termilk, which can be had for the ask
ing almost everywhere in this coun-
try, is valuable food for men and
women, although at present utilized
only to feed pigs. Surely, if he is es-
teemed the greatest benefactor to the
race who can grow two grains of corn
where only one grew before, in like
manner honor should be paid him who
rescaes a waste-product and trans
forms it into a valued article of a ma
tons Diet
1T may seem that this argument
runs counter to the experience which
has stamped itself upon the laws Of
this country in such fashion as to
make the fat percentage the standard
for the estimation of the purity of milk
offered for sale. And it may be urged
that IL a thin milk were legally sala-
BILE as 'unskimmcd milk watering
could never be detected. This objec-
ton, of course, leaves out of sight
the fact that a watered milk presents
lowered proportion not only of its
fat, but also of its other solids"

VALUE OF MEADOW LARK.

Professor Forbes, the State Ento-
mologist of Illinois, has estimated that
the meadow lark as an insect Destroy
er is worth ninety cents a year to
the farmer and that of all birds com.
mon to that State the only one which
has nothing to be said in its favor
in the English sparrow.

SELLING FERTILITY.

The Mirror and Farmer" thinks It
quite time that farmers disabuse their
minds of the old-time notion that sell.
ing hay tends to impoverish the farm
which has it's foundation in the fact
that under conditions existing in ear.
lier times the fertilizing elements con.
tanned in the hay could not easily be
replaced, but in these days Of agri'
cultural development it is not more
difficult to replace the fertility re-
moved by selling hay than to replace
an animal sold with another animal.
The price of hay is higher this winter
than for several years and it requires
good management to feed it to any
kind Of stock at present prices and
realize its selling value. The wise
farmer has a supply of ensilage for
the main feeding Of his farm animals.
The production of hay for market can
be conducted upon farm adapted to
grass as one Of the products without
depicting the fertility of the soil, as
we'll as any other product, if restOr-
ing the elements of fertility removed
in the hay from some other source is
given intelligent attention. This can
be done by growing clover, application
Of chemicals and cultivation of the
soil, making it possible to grow and
harvest a ton of hay for one-half its
selling price today, and if sold max
ing the farm no poorer by the trans
action.
