TODAY'S
HOUSEHOLD
AFFAIRS
A RENTED COW.

- NGNt ~ WV
II you have family OF children
and are going to the country for the
summer. one OF the most important
items In your arrangements viii be
your milk supply.
You will need an abundance OF
milk. and you wish 10 Do sure that
the milk 10 pure. In the cities It In
simple matter to have certified
milk delivered at your door In bot
ties: but the small farmer In the
country cannot AFFORD a similar ser.
vico ut the same price. He must
have his cows tuberculin-tested, Of
course; but the absolutely sanitary
condition In which milk can be de-
livered by large companies the small
farmer cannot duplicate, unless his
customers are willing to pay an ex.
orbitant price. Therefore the care
full housewife often has great difiicul-
ty In the summer time TO get milk
that Is satisfactory. produced under
conditions that are satisfactory. and
sold for a price that Is satisfactory.
One woman solved this problem by
hiring q COW for the summer. Her
grounds were small, but. there was
sufficient grass for pasturage. and
the cow was stabbed In a nearby
barn. The animal was of excellent
breed, tubercuiintested, and gave an
average Of sixteen quarts day. But
II was selected for the quality rather
than quantity OF It's milk. Plenty Of
rich cream was wanted. for the
housewife planned to make her own
butter.
This amount Of milk furnished suf-
feient cream for making all the table
butter that was necessary; the skim
med milk was used in cooking. the
buttermilk made a wholesome drink.
and there was plenty OF rich milk
left for the children's use.
The use OF the COW cost $40 a
month; and even with a slight
amount of extra feed and the stab
ling this housewife figured that she
saved considerable on her months
bill for milk. cream, and butter; and
she enjoyed the satisfaction OF hav-
ing a much more liberal supply than
she could have Afforded otherwise.
or course this suggestion IL prac-
tical only under certain conditions:
but for many women II might fur
nJsh the solution OF vexed problem.
II you have pasturage. and place
to stable a COW, II In undoubtedly an
economy in q large household. where
much milk is used; you are saved
tho expense OF caring for and feed
ing a COW through the winter, and
II the COW goes dry or contracts a
disease that Is the farmers risk. and
he must supply you with another.
