milk is such an important food In
the diet that every child should have
a quart Of milk day declared Miss
NJ. Eleanor Jackson, Food Specialist
in connection With the foods work
Of the Girls Home Economic Clubs
of the state. BOYS and girls should
drink milk although part of this
quart may be used in cooking other
foods or in beverages such as cocoa.
In nearly all sections there is plenty
of milk if the people would use it as
a food.
There are four reasons for using
milk" continued Miss Jackson. First.
ut is rich in mineral salts. which
build strong healthy bones and teeth:
second, 1t contains vitamins which
make it possible for boys and girls
to grow properly and keep well:
third, 1t provides food to keep the
body warm and active; fourth. it
contains protein or tissue building
food which is easy for the body to
take care of and use.
In the handling Of milk there are
four things to remember: First, use
only the milk from healthy cattle;
second. milk should be cooled quick
ly. reduce to 40-50 degrees Fahren-
heit: third. milk utensils and dishes
should be washed in cook water and
scaled. then allowed to dry without
wiping: fourth, the cleaner the milk
the longer 1t will keep sweet and
good"

Know your Cow Project Successful
in Mercer

Many farmers are lacking informa-
ton on the merit OF individual cows.
This Is due TO their ability to figure
the amount Of butter fat each in
dividuAl cow in their herd IL pro-
ducing. The Extension Department
realized that 1t was impossible for
every man who so desired to have
his cows tested individually. The
Know Your Cow project has made
this possible. The cows are tested
three times during the year for but
ter fat contents and at the time OF
the third test the yearly average OF
worked out and steps taken to reduce
the number of border cows in the
vicinity, also helps are given on feed
ms.
Thirteen herds were tested in Mer-
Ger, the total number OF cows being
approximately 100. Each man send
ing samples found some cow who was
doing more or less than they had
realized. Two more tests will give
them a real chance to know these
cows true worth. *
