MILK, ITS IMPORTANCE

Some idea of the importance OF

the total food Of the average family is
furnished by 1t and it's products.
OF Rhe various mammals whose
milk is Used for foo in different parts
of lhe world may be mentioned the
goat in the hilly districts of Europe,
the buffalo in India. n llama in S.
America. the camel in desert coun-
tries, and the mare on the steppes of
Russia and Central Asia. Sleeps
milk is used in some countries for
making cheese and in other ways and
the milk of reindeers is commonly u.s.
ed as food in the arctic regions. With
us the milk Of the cow so far surpas-
SEES all other kinds In importance that
unless otherwise specified the word
milk is taken to refer to cows milk
only.
Good, u~nadu1terated milk should
contain about 81 per cent of water
n Is per cent. solids.
Milk contains bacteria of many
kinds and in varying numbers. They
cause h souring of milk as we'll as
the ripening of cream and cheese, and
produce many other changes in the
! appearance and flavor. The number
present in freshly drawn milk varies
