MARKING THE SOUR MILK COW

The COWS seemed to interest her
more than any other domestic animal.
One of the COWS had lost her tail
somehow and this fact led the woman
to ask why it was.
That's the sour milk cow" the

We always cut the tail off one COW

The effects of wrong feeding in
adult life, including those of alcohol
ism and other forms of intemperance,
are undoubtedly hereditary whether
the habits of alcoholism, tobacco and
unnatural eating are transmissible or
not. We know that the vitality of the
infant is determined by the vitality of
the parents-though not altogether by
the average vitality-and the powers
Of nutrition are the fundamental pow
ers transmitted to offspring.
We may not always be able to trace
family history in eyes and lungs, but
we can always find it in stomach and
liver and intestines.
The food of the young dog, horse,
COW, ape and human, in common with
all other mammalia, is milk. The nat
ural food of the mature DOG is flesh;
that of the others is vegetable. The
digestive systems of the ape and man
resemble, slightly, that of the dog;
-: think, as some argue, because
lnelr naturan s~ed is largely flesh, but
because nuts closely resvpAhle flesh.
chemically The gorilla has canine
| teeth, but 1t is a strict vegetarian. The
boar's canine" teeth are his means
of defense.
Albumen, the chief constituent OF
flesh, is digested chiefly In the stom.
| ach by the action of the gastric fluid
Accordingly, the intestine of the dog
is short in proportion, the stomach be.
ing 60 per cent. of the entire digestive
tract. The cows stomach is very com.
plicated; she has. in fact, four stom.
achs. This is because her natural
'ood requires much dilution with sa-
iva and rumination before it can be
passed on to the intestine. not thai
proteid is the chief element of the
cows food, as in the dog.
Now the stomach of the COW plays
a much more important part, relatively
to the intestinal digestion, than in
man Cows milk is, chemically and
mechanically, adapted to this physio
logical difference. 1t does not as soon
break up into small curds, and is
therefore, retained longer in the calf's
stomach. This popularity partly ex.
plains the difficulty of digesting cows
milk and should be considered in any
attempt to modify cows milk so as to
adapt it to infant feeding.
We know that the health of the in.
fant, its nervous moods, its physical
health and temper in general, are in,
fluenced by those of the mother
through the food. This alone would in
| dieate the impossibility of perfect
adaptation of cows milk to infant
! feeding. At best it is unnatural, but
as 1t is in many cases necessary, part
ly or entirely, we must make the most
of it. An imperfectly nourished child
Is more liable to diseases of child
| hood and survives with greater diff
| ficulty. Food is not, of course the
only requirement for health, but it is
| fundamental.
In cases in which cows milk must
I've used, care should be taken to see
that the COW is healthy, unless herd
milk is used, that no preservative is
used that The bottles and other yes
sells with which it comes in contact
are washed well with boiling water

Let her dine on roast canary. Never be

Never kick about the coofing, never
frown when she is looking;
Never venture TO remind her Of the pie

Always grin while at the table and. as far
as you are able.
Make her think it is a privilege to see
that bills are paid.
So. if you would keep your treasure, al
