ICE CREAM
AS 4 FOOD

the favorable attitude of the med
ical profession makes us feel sure
of its safety. And there is no use
even tryin to bring out addition
al evidence as to its tastiness and
general desirability.
There are some interesting
facts as to its cost worth consid-
ering Ice Cream used to be thot
merely luxury, but its high
food value is beginning to be rec,
ognized. 1t used to be only on
special occasions, such 4th Of Ju-
ly. elaborate picnics and special
Sunday dinners, that it was
served, as a luxury. Recently it
has come into more widespread use
because Of the cones, pie la
mode, fancy bricks and Other
forms of delicacy.
"Unitcd. States statistics from
1909 to 1919 show the production
Of ice cream tripled-indicatine
a vast increase in its use. Three
times as much in ten years! The
average annual consumption pei
capita is now nearly two and {
half gallons. (Have. you eater

your two and a half gallons OF
ice cream since last Mayo Ice
cream has thus changed i'll a short
time from a luxury to a semi ne.
cessity.
And it is no longer merely a
summer delicacy. The use of
bricks is probably as great in win
ter as in summer now. The win
ter use Of all other forms of fan
cy ice cream is increasing, tho of
course the bulk Of the plain ice
cream will always be sold in sum-
mer.
"Maybe you are wondering
just what claim ice cream has as
an actual food, That is, how does
it rank as a container of calories,
vitamines and the other food val
ues of interest to science? 1t is
only right that this should also
be known, especially as the facts
are entirely favorable to ice
cream.
ga quart of ice cream will
melt down to about pint of very
rich liquid. This is mostly cream
milk and sugar. There will pro
badly be little condensed milk
or milk powder in it too. Also
there will be a little amount Of
qclatine, color and flavor. The
food values and vitamines in
milk and the other milk products
are undoubtedly familiar to every
one. Sugar is a highly concentra
ted and valuable food. The gel
atine, tho used only i'll small
amounts, is highly nutritious and
tiigestable. The minor ingredi-
ents are entirely harmless and
greatly increase the palatibility
of the final product.
Gone method of measurement
is that of the per cent OF total
solids. Most ice cream contains
"a per cent to 81 per cent dry
matter on in other words, it is
about three times as rich in food
value as ordinary milk, which is
saying a good deal. No wonder
the dietitians areI calling attcn-

be favorably compared with 9th

as cereals or meats. We rarely
find such an excellent cOmbma-

Not Necessary for Roof
on Cement Manure Pits


Where a manure pit is built of
cement and no real opportunity for the
liquid manure TO leach away, there
would be no real necessity Of having a
roof on the pit However. one of the
objects Of roof is to have the manure
in place where II Is not so objec-
tlonable and the ammonia does not
eyaporate so rapidly II the pit is
closed In. However, this evaporation
can be prevented providing the manure
Is kept moIstened.
Where great deal Of liquid manure
Is obtained, which Is usually the case
in up-to-date dairy barns. the manure
would not dry out. especially IL there
was not too much bedding In It. II
there was considerable bedding and
not sufficient liquid manure going
with the manure from day to day into
the pit. It would be necessary to use
hose or some other means Of wetting
down the pile. With horse manure,
which dries out very rapidly, II nearly
always is accompanied by a large
amount Of dry litter and It is very es-
sential that the manure be packed and
dampened frequently. This would also
be true In dry times even though 1t
had no roof. Unless very good alb
sorbent is used for wedding. horse ma
nure will go into the pit somewhat dry
and consequently 1t needs a great deal
Of wetting down In order to prevent Il
from heating to such an extent as to
dry IT out.-R. A. Moore. Wisconsin

Make Preparations for
Poultry Shows in Fall

The poultry season begins with Sep
TENDER. 1t is the time of the year
when the fairs are on In full swing.
when the cockereIs are beginning to
crow and the pullets are beninning to
lay. It is the time of the year you will
want TO begin to advertise to sell your
surplus stock. Don't wait until the
last minute and then expect immedi-
ate orders. you may get such re-
suits, but you better count on few
days or weeks for correspondence. Bar
gaining by mall Is sometimes slow
process-it may take weeks to land a
particular order. In September buyers
begin to look around for their winter
show birds, and for breeders to all
IN the weak places in their own tlocks.
Start your advertising in September
and you will get more orders than If
you start month or two later.
