COW MOST VALUABLE
FOOD PRODUCER
FOOD VALUE OF MILK MAKES ITS
LIBERAL USE THE HEIGHTH
OF ECONOMY.
Learned Unite in ExtOlling Virtues
of Milk and Its Products As
Regular Diet.

Milk is the one food that is used
invalid and the strong, and one of the
few that satisfies both thirst and
hunger. 1t produces no untoward
efforts, builds up the body, keeps it in
repair, warm, furnishes it with energy
and contains all the required elements
for growth and maintenance. Besides
this it requires little or no preparation
and has no waste.
One quart Of milk is equal in food
value to anyone of the following:
g eggs; pounds of chicken; pounds
of fresh Goldfish; 2 pounds of salt cod
fish or "a pound of lean round beef
according to experiments made by
Professor y Rosenau of Harvard Uni
versity
Professor Sherman of Columbia I'm
iVersity goes so far as to say that it
is true economy to use milk freely
even at the price of Is to 20 cents. a
quart.
Milk can be used without prepara
ion, in ice cream, in cooking-oh well,
you know what a meal would be with
out milk in some things. And butter
milk is taking its place as panacea
and is rivaling beer on the bar.
In spite of the well known food
value of milk, it is interesting to note
that it is not generally used freely.
This is especially true of the farm
table where milk is produced in the
very back yard

write an essay on editors, says the

is the result:

good Lord does, for he amt got moth

there is big swearing and big fuss,
but if a doctor makes a mistake there
is a funeral, cut flowers and perfect
silence
