The Amount Of Milk
The Average Family
Consumes In a Day

While 1t is difficult to compile any
accurate figures on the daily per cap
tia consumption Of milk it is generally
conceded that the average for the
United States is about g of a pint
This is a little more than a glass a
day. That this is too small an amount
is beyond question.
Adults in particular should remem-
Der the days of their youth and use
more milk than they do. Were 1t not
for the infant, per capita consumption
would be much less than it is. Ac-
cording to Vermont Bulletin 1876, one
sixth of the milk produced by our
20 900 900 cows is used as a food for
infants and young children. It has
been figured that the infant consumes
$40 quarts of milk during the first
year of its life.
In order to study the per capita
consumption of milk first hand and
find out the effect of the infant on the
amount of milk used in various famil-
les, data were tabulated on 81 families
living in Storrs. The College retails
about go quarts daily to residents of
storrs and hence accurate records
were available. The time covered was
in session Families In which the
exact numbers were known as well as
the approximate age of children were
selected. These families were divid-
ed into three groups and the summar-
lied data is presented below:
Summary Table. I
The Bridgeport evening farmer. [volume] (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1866-1917, 1917-08-28

There is no better food for growing
boys and girls until they reach ma
turity than milk. It is plainly seen that
1t is not realized or at least practiced
by families in Group II, having chill
.dren to IL years of age when the
consumption Is much less than Group
|. The probable reason why the con-
sumption is little greater in Group
III than in Group IL is that pint of
milk was not enough to accommodate
the family of two and so a quart. had
to be purchased and the milk used a
little more freely.
The daily consumption for Storrs of
LOT pfnts per capita is considerably
larger than for country. This prob
ably is explained by the fact that the
people have all had some education as
to the Importance of milk as food
and that they know the supply is of
the best. Children under 5 years Of
age are also plentiful in Storrs.
The population of Connecticut in
1910 is given as 1,114,756. A recent
estimate now places it at 1 roo, 600. If
this is the case and the average per
capita consumption for this mass of
people was the same as xfor Storrs.
1.o7 pints, rather than 6 of.a pint a
day 1t would mean a demand for
1913, goo more pounds of milk daily
While the recent survey on the cost
of milk production showed that the
average productions for 8, 238 cows was
5000 pounds yearly 1t is probable that
the production for the state is about
$500 pounds. This being the case.
It would take 53,024 more cows to
take care of the increase in consump-
tipn of milk.
The writer was curious to get some
idea as to what was the per capita
consumption Of milk on farms
where it was produced "A question
aire was sent cut to IS farms, most of
them retailing milk and IT replies
were receive 1t was found that
the average per capita consumption
on these II farms was 1870 pints
daily
While this is slightly larger than
for those purchasing their milk 1t
would seem THAT there was a chance
for the farmer to use more OF his
own product to good advantage.
All of the figures presented were
|sobtained under winter conditions. 1t
is probable that in the summer time
the consumption is higher, both in
town and on the farm. Hot weather
is the dread and milk season" and
on the farm in particular, the big
pitcher of milk for drinking purposes
has a prominent place.

Today's Anniversaries

4 On August "a, 1854. articles OF CO.
lpitulation were signed by the Dutch
~ which the colony of New Amster-
dam. which included what is now the
City Of New York, became subject to
England The articles provided that
the eolonists should remain fres citi-
zens, with the right to retain their
estates; that they were to enjoy their
ancient customs with regard to inheri-
tance. to their modes OF worship and
church discipline, and were allowed
free trade with Holland. The doughty
Governor Stuyvesant at first refused
to ratify the treaty and held out for
several days before he was finally
persuaded to affix his signature. On
this date In the year 1873 the island of
Java lay devastated after the most
destructive volcanic explosion of mod
ern times. The island OF Krakatao,
from which the volcano derives its
name. was almost blown to atoms,
and the ocean wave which reached
the neishboring island coasts caused
an immense destruction of life and
property. This explosion produced
world-wide effects. Air and ocean
waves passed around the earth and
the atlantic coast Of America was
overlooked. On extraordinary guam
tity of fine dust was thrown into the
air. and this was undoubtedly the
cause Of the remarkable red sunsets,
which were observed immediately at
forwards In all parts Of the world and
which continued for several years.

Coat Of Summer Serge for Boys.

Not only VIII this coat be service
able for cool evenings during the
summer, but 1t Is appropriate for
early Fall. Dark blue serge is used
for Its development The back ia
plated and finished with short belt
which Is caught in with the under
arm seams and the neck has notsf-
ed-collar Turn-back cuffs finish the
sleeves. In medium size the coat re-
quires 11a yards 54-inch material.
The quickest method of cutting tho
coat properly is precisely as shown
by the cutting guide. First fold the
serge in half on table or some
other smooth surface. Place the
back, perforated With the letter sK'
directly on the lelgthwise fold, and
opposite the back lay the collar and
the front, each OF these sections with
the large eO'' perforations resting
on lengthwise thread of serge. Now,
q ~ tie more than half of the mate
rial remains for the other sections
of the pattern. OF these only the
belt IS laid on lengthwise fold OF
material, the pocket, welt. sleeve
sections AND undertaking being
placed so that the large "o'' perfora-
lions in each rest on a leagthwisel
thread.
If preferred. the plaits at the back
may be omitted. and thu straight re-
movable belt used instead Of the at
tached design.
In addition to serge, this coat
looks well In cheyiot, oxford cloth,
velours and broadcloth.

Or his deserts are small
Who fears to put 1t to the touch
To win, OF lose it all.

Most men are willing to take the
girls as they find them. There is no
particular tact in attracting the OPP
posite sex. Contact has much to do

may have for holding hands in the
twilight, or becoming sentimental,
he checks the impulse toward tender
ness, because he has set a price on

on the amount Of his present income.
!. In some men will power is stronger
than heart power in proportion to how
much that man loves luxury and de-

fortune ready-made for him. He
shrewdly avoids giving a girl direct
encouragement, keeps her guessing as
