MILK COMP AIRED
WITH OTHER FOODS

The Delaware Holstein-Friesian As
ISOLATION Is displaying a valuable snd
extremely interesting exhibit at the
State Fair, in the building occupied by
the handsome, friendly. black-and-
white cattle OF this breed. The main
purpose OF this exhibit. as attested by
It's flag and red, white and blue stream
Or decorations, is the patriotic one OF
showing how increased use and pro-
ductlon OF milk will lower the cost
and enlarge the supply OF the worlds
food, one of the most vital problems
In winning the war.
The association has been fortunate
in securing Professor William NJ. Rider.
head OF the dairy department OF Syra-
cuse University at Syracuse, New York,
TO arrange and take charge OF this eX-
hibit at the State Fair. Professor
Rider is known throughout the coun-
try for his special investigations along
these lines. He is particularly inter
ested in, and enthusiastic over the HOl-
stein cattle. as milk-producers. Pro-
fessor Rider has worked out the sta
tistlcs and arranged these H0lstein COW
demonstrations at many exhibitions.
He will have charge OF the National
Holstein exhibit at the National Dairy
show in Columbus, o., in October.
Professor Rider gives daily lectures
on dairy problems, which have been
well attended by dairy men. In addl-
tion. he is in attendance at the exhibit
10 answer questions and TO explain the
display.
In the first section OF the display,
Professor Rider has ribbons leading
from a model OF a Holstein cow to the
various items which added up will give
the total average cost Of production OF
one quart Of milk throughout the year.
The items are one pound OF hay, 1
cent; three-quarters pound OF grain,
% cents; two pounds OF corn silage,
four-flfths cent; labor cost 4 $40 cents;
overhead costs, 2 is cents; pasture,
is cent; total cost, s.35 cents per
quart, for cows giving from five to
elk thousand pounds per year.
The second section shows a quart OF
Holsteln milk, which weighs 215 pounds
and sells for "a cents, and groups of
other eatables, the quart OF milk being
equSl to each group I'm food value. The
foods were all purchased in Whining
ton. According to the display, one quart
OF milk has as much nourishment as s
eggs. at 80 cents; or pounds OF chick
en- at so cents; or 3-i OF a pound OF
beefsteak at 45 cents; or 3-5 OF a pound
Of ham at 40 cents. The idea Is not TO
give up other foods entirely, but to use
a smaller quantity Of other foods by
partial substitution Of milk and cheese.
The man who drinks a glass or two OF
milk will find his appetite satisfied with
a smaller helping Of beefsteak for break
fast. Where eggs are used. eggs and
pint Of milk will be found much
cheaper and equally satisfactory. BY
this half-and-half arrangement family
can easily cut its food expenses down
more than half, and can save the foods
needed by soldiers and Allies overseas.
skim milk, cheese and cottage cheese,
food values are also demonstrated, as
compared with other foods. one pound
Of cheese is as nourishing as % eggs, or
4 as pounds OF chicken. or - i-2 toma-
toes. Even a quart Of skim milk has
as much food value as 6 eggs.
The third section Of the exhibit shows
tables OF figures demonstrating the /
value OF pure breeding. With a pure /
bred Holstein sire, herd OF ordinary |
dairy cows win show a four-fold in
crease Of milk production in the third /
generation. other items beside good /
breeding that are necessary for profit
able dalrying are balanced ratlons, and |
feeding adaptable to the individual
cows needs.
On the walls are displayed photo
graphs Of famous Holstein cattle, nota-
bly, King Segls one OF the best living
IIolsteln bulls, and Prilly, a Holstein
cow of great renown.
In the stalls near the dairy demon
stration are the prize-winning Holsterin |
Friesians from the Winterthur Farms,
owned by Henry F. dupont These
splendid big, black and white cattle are
in many cases descended from King
segis and King OF the Pontacs, another
famous Holstein bull Some Of the most
noted Of the Winterthur Holstein bulls
are Sir Inka Prilly Segis, Uneeda King
Alcartra, and King Of the Sadie Wales.
The Winterthur cattle is one Of the
most admired exhibits at the Fair, and
draw hundreds OF visitors to their
stalls. More than half Of the pure-bred
iairy cattle in this country are Hol-
stems.
