The Hoisteia.Friesian Breed

The Holstein- -Friesian breed Is one
of the oldest. 1t was developed on
the rich dixie lands of Holland, where
there was abundant pasturage. How
ever. the name Holstein refers not to
Holland but to a small province in
Germany where black and white cat
tie are found. The name Friesian
comes from Friesland. a province in
Holland. This is the name by which
the breed should be called in Ameri-
can. as it is in Holland. Instead,
nearly everybody has dropped it, and
called the breed Holstein. In ;ize,
animals of this bred are larger than
those of any other. Full grown
cows weigh 100 to 400 pounds; bulls
often weigh $500 at maturity. The
accepted color Is black and white, any
The colors are seldom
each marking being distinct
Occasionally the pure While animal is
seen. Cows are noted for large milk
flow Young animals of this breed
make excellent veal.

WHOLE GRAIN CEREALS BEST
FOR TIE HEALTH
Many Elements the Body Needs Are
LOST When Manufacturers Produce
Highly Refined Product

Nutrition specialists point ont that
of the cereals used as food. wheat.
corn, pats, rice. barley and rye, tho
ready to eat and partly cooked com
mercial products are from two 10 ten
times a. expensive as the raw cereals.
Many elements needed by the body,
further, particularly minerals and Wit
amines. are lost when cereals are
manufactured into a highly refined
product
As sources Of phosphorus, iron, lime
and of the water-soluble vitaminle
whole cereals and whole grain flours
are particularly valuable.
One disadvantage the housewife
finds is the amount of fuel and time
required to cook the whole grains as
breakfast cereals. This is an oppor-
tunity for the fireless cooker to be
II ed to improve the health and to save
in expense. Six or eight hours in
the fireless cooker will thoroughly
cook these so they are easily digested
and have rich, nutty flavor not
brought out by any other method OF
preparation. Slightly less water is
necessary when cereals are prepared
in the fireless way.
