For grow ing children, who need large quanti- ties of protein and carbohydrates, 2 quarts of skim milk would supply more of these constituents and more ash than 1 quart of whole milk, and it has already been suggested that fresh skim milk. of good quality, sold under it's real name and at a reason able price, is preferable to suspicious whole milk. Many families who are in the habit or drinking whole milk and buying cream would doubtless be quite as well off if the top of the milk. say ? or 3 inches in quart bottle. were poured into the cream instead of the milk pitcher; the milk ought still to be far from thin and blue, and there would be saving in the cost of cream.

The Value of Skim Milk As a4Food. 5
By County Agent E. C. WARNER

: The Value of Skim Milk As a4Food.
 As every one knows skim milk is the milk. which remains after the butterfat-thaf is, cream-has been removed. In the ordinary process of skimming the cream is. allowed tosrfse cies, and the layer of cream on top IS removed with skinner or some other convenient device. Formerly hand skimming was universal, but at the present time milk separators are in common use, which embody in their construction the physical prin- ciple. that with rapidly rotating ma- terial the heavier body moves from the center to the circumference more rapidly than the lighter body. Milk Separators permit of the cony elient removal of any desired proportion of the fat much more completely than Is possible by hand skimming
 After average milk is skinned 4- that is, after the. bulk of the fat is remoyed-the solids, or nutritfVea in gredients, still make up nearly one tenth of its. entire weight. The amount of fat left in skim milk varies greatly with the method of. creaming. Ordinary open. shallow pan setting leaves anywhere from ene-tenth to \ one fourth of the original fat of. the milk in the skim milk. Deep, cold setting removes the fat much. more completely, and separator skim milk has usually less fat than that from deep, cold setting It is. not far out of the way however, to say that a pound of skim milk contains on the average .eS4 pound protein and has fuel value of ITO calories, or a lit tie greater proportion of protein than the same weight of whole milk and about one-half the fuel value.
 In the ordinary mixed diet, a suf- ficient amount of fat is supplied by meat, butter lard, etc, so that the loss of this ingredient is of relatiyely little importance. Protein, on :, the other hand, is the most costly of food ingredients and the one most likely to be lacking in inexpensive meals. and this is the nutrient which skim milk supplies in a cheap and useful form. The value of skim milk as food is not generally appreciated. Taken by it.
