Did you ever stop to think how
much milk you consume in the course
of year?
Next to bread, you use milk, if you
are an average individual, more extern
sively than any other food.
Milk, or one of it's products, is found
in surprisingly large number of the
preparations commonly found on our
tables.
We have but few dishes, which in
their making do not require it or one
of its products, or which cannot be
improved by its use. It's addition
makes articles of doubtful food value
valuable, and makes already valuable
food articles better.
Not only is milk a balanced ration
in itself, but it has a peculiar fitness
to build up bone and the various It's
sues and organs of the body.
If the milk supply were suddenly
cut off we would be very much in
convenienced, at least, until a substi-
tute could be found Thus far it has
been impossible to make a substitute
Some of the smartest men have been
trying to make milk out of vegetables
and other matter, but as yet old "Brin-
die" has no competitor. She probably
never will have.
Not only are we directly dependent
upon the COW for her products, but
she also has a hold upon us in an in
direct way. Cream Is used to manu-
facture butter and other articles, but
the by-product, skim milk, remains
upon the farm and is fed to the calf,
starting it off to maturity so that it
can later take the place of it's moth
er and furnish us more milk. What
remains, and the whey from the
cheese factories, millions of pounds
of it, is fed to the pigs to make valu-

able pork later on in the year.
Skim milk is often thought of as
waste product with little nutritive
value, but the experiment stations and
practical farmers have found out 9th
erwise. 1t is particularly valuable be-
cause it contains those elements that
build up the muscular tissue or lean
meat that is so highly priced for
food. Not only does it produce veal
and pork and indirectly more milk,
but the chickens also like it and lay
more eggs when they have Access
to it.
We do not always realize that the
cow is doing so much for us; that
while we consume large quantities of
dairy products, the by-product back
on the farm is making other articles
of food for us, and so providing for
our future.
The amount of milk being consumed
annually is rapidly on the increase.
The consumers are becoming more
and more particular regarding the
sanitary qualities of their milk and
are ever demanding a better article.
The farmer on the other hand finds
it difficult to make fair profit in pro-
ducing just ordinary milk. The con-
sumner is certainly justified in demand
ing a good milk, but at the same time
it is necessary to remember that it
costs more to produce high grade ar
ticle than one of inferior grade. The
farmer will deliver a good grade of
milk providing it is made worth
while to him. The consumer has the
matter in his own hands Milk is
worth more. At the present time it
costs less than half as much, from
nutritious standpoint, than does the
average of all other common articles.

Breaks Legislative Record.

Madison.-When the Wisconsin
legislature came to close on August
oath, the 224th day of legislative
record was passed, exceeding all rec
ords of Wisconsin lawmaking bodies.
Two years ago the session was 213
days long. One peculiar result of
the long session was the fact that
messengers, who drew $3.50 per day,
each received $50 more salary than a
member of the legislature. Their to-
tai incomes for the session will have
been $500, while the members get
only $500 for the session.

Lamp-TrImmer's Signal.

Arc-lamp trimmers frequently find
it difficult to lower the arc lamp on
busy street without danger of having
the lamp crashed into by passing
vehicles. A man in Minneapolis has
devised a signal consisting of a tripod
with two white signal wings on which
red circles are painted. This the
lamp trimmer places on the street
under his lamp, and then he may
lower the lamp without fear of a
collision.

GERMAN SUBMARINE U-21
EASILY MAKES HER ESCAPE
This Underwater Craft Is the Same

Later Destroyed Two Brit

London, Feb. 2.-The toll taken by
the German submarine U-21 in it's raid
in the Irish Sea in the vicinity of Liv-
erpool still stands at three ships-the
steamers Ben Cruachen, Linda Blanche
and the Kilcoan, the latter small
vessel. The crew of the Kilcoan was
landed on the Isle of Man by coast
wise steamer.
In addition a German submarine
also has torpedoed two British steam
ers in the English che mel near Havre,
the Iokomaru and the Icaria.
Submarine Very Active.
The Irish Sea raider easily made her
escape and shipping interests, conf
dent that she has returned to her base,
ordered a resumption of normal traf-
flc.
This underwater Emden is the same
vessel which last September tor
pedoed in the North Sea the British
cruiser Pathfinder with a loss of 24f
lives, and later destroyed two British
steamers off Havre. She found nu
merous OF her vessels on the water to
which she has centered her activities
In addition to the vessels she is
known to have sunk, several Other
steamers were chased by her. These
include the steamer Graphic with 1O(
passengers and crew of 40, and the
smaller boats, Aureus, Ava, Kathleen
and Endymion. All these vessels es
capped in zigzag flight.
Graphic Warns Other Ships.
The Graphic's captain had his pas
| sengars don life belts and sent all thu
| members of the crew to the stoke hol'
so the steamer could keep full hea'
| of steam in flight.
The captain also took the precautiol
to warn by wireless vessels from com

activity.
The Allan line steamer, Scandins
Wan, from st. John, N. B., Jan. %, TO
Liverpool, with 500 passengers Of
board, learned of the raid of the w
