MILK.

wonder how many of US ever stop to
really think what milk is and how i'm
portant it is to us. What could we do
without it when we consider the fact
that one sixth of the total food of the
average family is furnished by it and its
products. While there are many diff
ferent kinds of milk, we generally use
the term to mean "cows" milk. This
important product of the COW, is one of
the most important foods we have, and
there is not home in the United States
where milk should not be on the bill of
fare. n
Now let Us take look into the COM
position of ordinary cows milk. 1t con-
tains about 81 per cent water, per
cent fat, g. 3 per cent of protein, 5 per
cent of carbohydrates and about per
cent of ash. Thus we see that about 81
per cent of the solids of milk is fat.
This supplies fuel and heat to the
body. The next important ingredient
is protein which gives us energy and
material t. build up worn out tissues of
the body. This makes up about one
fourth of the total solids of milk. Then
comes carbohydrates in the form of
milk sugar, forming about 5 per cent
of the total solids made up of mineral
matter which goes to form bone etc.
The kind of minerals found in milk
varies with the localities in which it is
Ia = s baf foot tho
milk contains all these constituents that
it is considered complete food. But
even food may contain all the ingre-
dents that would constitute a complete
food and still not be complete if all of
its elements were not in digestible
form and therefore become waste. But
this is not the case with milk since
science tells US that about 50 per cent of
the protein is digested, so per cent of
fat, and 80 per cent of the carbohydrate
es. This shows that nearly all is used
up in the body and that only a small
portion is waste. Neither is it hearty
food but is good for the invalid as well
as for the strong man. Although 1T
should be said here that an ordinary
person should not confine his bill of fare
to milk alone.
Now since we have learned that milk
is a complete food and is nearly all
dgestibe, let US look at its value and
cost compared with other every day
foods. | take the following as it is
printed in one of the government reports
of Massachusetts.
Chemists tell us that one quart of
milk is equal in food value to anyone of
the following foods:
