To demonstrate the remarkable
body building power Of milk. the
Dairy Division of the Maine Depart
ment of Agriculture has been raising
litter of puppies half on milk diet
and half on a non-milll diet. Indi-
viduals from this litter are being
shown at several of the Maine fairs
this fall.
A litter was born in June of very
uniform weight throughout in which
the individuals were paired. Each
of the young ladies in the Depart
ment of Agriculture agreed to act as
sponsor for one of the puppies, and
each puppy derived its name there
from. Dorothy NJ, Mildred L.. Hen

ceived a non-milk diet after grad

From the very start difference
began to develop. In two weeks the

one pair, showed a difference of from
two to four pounds. Dorothy NJ. was

the non-mill fed pups respectively,

So far they have been seeing the
crowds at Bangor, Waterville and
Lewiston fairs and will probably
continue their tour with the Depart
ment of Agriculture exhibit.
AS the puppies will show, Lou is
much larger and several pounds
heavier than Blanchard. The ner-
vous system Is also affected. Blan-
chard, who has not received milk, is
much more irritable at times. while
Lou is enjoying himself. Blanchard
will receive milk. however, after he
has warned people at the fairs, and
will soon catch up with Lou.
The remarkable gains in pups cor
respond with the gains being obtain
ed among thousands of school child =
rem in Maine who have received milk
during school hours. Because it con-
tains the elements necessary for the
body and in proper proportions, milk
is an ideal food for the growing child
1t is hoped that mothers will profit
by the story which the puppies have
to tell and help their children to be-
come strong. healthy children by en-
couraging them TO drink milk.
