, The human system refuses to be de-
ceiyed by substitutes for animal fats
and other essentials. And then think
what a landscape it is going to 'bo
when there is not an animal in sight,
and all the grazing is done by gaso-
line-fed machines" We may even
come, in time, to synthetic meat and
synthetic vegetables. adds the Nor
gantown New Dominion, but: What
will happen to our stomachs? That's
the question. Human stomachs are
absurdly conservative, and even re
dictionary, as many a synthetic en-
thusiast will confess in his more
human moments"
"It is interesting to know" accord
ing to the New York Evening Post,
what a manufacturing wizard thinks
about the farmers most helpful do
mestic animal, only less interesting
than the question why Mr.. Ford at
tackS the COW as the farmers great
est handicap" The COW. many OBJ
servers believe, plays an important
part in farm life apart from the
actual production of milk. In this
connection the Norfolk, Nebr., Daily
News thinks that, while the Ford
plan might succeed as an industry,
the sole object of which is to. turn
out food, it would fail utterly 10 turn
out one of the most valuable products
of the farm, the young man with
sturdy strength OF mind and muscle,
combined with initiative and re
sourcefulness." The, Nebraska paper
adds that standardized industrial
processes can't produce character,
and character is the. greatest product
of American life."
at would be an excellent plan to
delegate the cows duties to the De
troit manufacturer" the Buffalo News
advises. Synthetic milk is the thing,
made by Henrys merry artisans, sing
ing at their work. Let his service
be universal. The poets only would
mourn the passing Of the COW. And
they, poor wights, are the most in
efficient of men. No one ever got
anywhere on their transports" A
popular faith in Mr.. Ford's resources.
'if not in all his opinions and beliefs,
is observed by the Providence Bulle-
tin, which further agrees with the
idea that 'if he happened to be milk
enthusiast, he could quickly engage
staff of chemists to invent a process
of synthetic milk production, and the
machine, If a mechanical device were
necessary, could be attached to any
fiivver."
Mr.. Ford speaks the Memphis
News-Scinitar suggests. "as If he
might have had some unpleasant ex
periences with milk COWS when ne
was younger. We say younger for
the reason that no person who can
possibly employ some one else to do
it for him actually attends to the
milking or acts as valet to a cow. He
admits he keeps a COW now, but that
doesn't alter the fact that he regards
the animal as a nuisance and would
prefer to get his milk from a syn
thetic process. We hope he is sue

extent with other attachments to have
buckets hanging under the udder of
the car. and the additional noise
would be scarcely appreciable.
"Give Henry reliable brand of syn
thetic milk and in five years he'll have
factories working at capacity prodtic-s
