DOMESTIC SCIENCE
Conducted by Mrs. Alice Gitchell Kirk

What is needed today is instruc-
ton for the average housewife in
the care of milk in the home. She
needs to be taught what valuable
food clean milk is. She should be
able to tell why bottle milk is safer
to use than milk dipped from a can.
Not until one morning when | saw,
my milkman riding leisurely along,
drinking from the top of large
can, and perhaps turning what was
left back into it, did l realize the
importance of having bottled milk
at once in my family
The housewife should know why
certified milk is the only safe milk
to use unpasteurized and while all
other milk should be pasteurized.
She should be taught to know that
bottled milk showing particles of
dirt in the bottom of the bottle is an
unsafe food to use. The milk should
be thrown away and the milkman
delivering such product should be
dismissed
The study of the milk problem by
the housewife is one of the impor-
tant points to be considered today

milk has no equal in good food value.
No matter how well milk has been
handled up to the time it was de-
livered at the door, it cannot be eX-
pected to keep If carelessly handled
by the housekeeper. If it is turned
into a pan or pitcher the pan should
be steriized covered and kept in a
clean, cool place.
New milk should never be mixed
with old, unless it is to be used at
once, as old milk will not keep as
well as the fresh.
Bacteria are thickest where there
is dirt and decay, consequently every
thing should be kept clean and COW
cred to keep the flavor. IL kept at
a temperature of 80 degrees or less
1t will keep for twelve hours or more
and often twenty-four.
Milk is a wellbalanced, nutritious
food and
The best for nursing mothers.
The best food for the weaned baby.
The most necessary food for chill
dren.
An economical food.
When clean, it is a safe food.
Makes muscle.
Has no waste.
Requires no cooking.
A good food for the sick.
The best food for infancy to old
age.
Can be used in the making of many
dishes.
A better and cheaper food than
condensed milk or any proprietary
or patented food.
An easily digested food.
And the most valuable food for
general use in the home
But there is one little word that,
should be prefixed to this important
article of diet--it should be "clean"
milk 1t is your fault If it is dirty
milk. for it rests with the house,
keeper to demand clean milk 1t is
then up to her to keep this milk

No one ever thought that 'spara-

broken off it's succulent stalks in
early spring would have been consid-
cred like pulling up a flower by the
roots before it blossomed.
The fact of the great popularity of
this vegetable with the French. people,
who may be said to be the good cooks
and good eaters of our day, is inter-
esting in connection with the tradi-
tions of it's common use among the
Romans, a people who perhaps more
than any of their contemporaries
made cooking a fine art. Cato and
Columella spoke very highly of it, and
Pliny described a sort that grew near

three of them would weigh pound.
