Gated that a surprisingly large num-
ber of infants are artifically fed,
which condition doctors agree, had
marked bearing on their undernOur-
ished conditions. Naturally, no one
food may prove satisfactory In every
case, although the survey showed that
evaporated milk in many cases had
proved an excellent substitute for
mothers milk This may be explained
by reason of the fact that evaporated
milk Is simply pure, concentrated cows
milk from which 60 per cent Of the
water has been removed 1t contains
practically every element necessary
for good health and Is consequently
an excellent builder of bone and tis-
sue.
Although authorities on health rec
ommend evaporated milk as baby
food, like other substitutes for the
natural supply, It should not be con-
sidered as food complete In Itself.
Addition of orange or tomato juice,
barley water or lime water is impor-
tant in providing adequate diet for
the infant.
For babies, milk of dependable pur-
ity Is essential. Market milk will not
keep for any length Of time and Is also
liable to contamination, especially in

JUNIOR BREEDERS
TO SHARE IN FUND
Distribution to Be Made at Tren-
ton Exposition-Keen Com
petition Expected-Many En-
tries.

The New Jersey State Department
OF Agriculture has announced that
awards of more than $1,000 will be
distributed to members of the Junior
Breeders Association by the Ere
linghuysen Fund" at the Trenton Fair
during the week of September 81 to
October q The State Department ad-
ministers the fund which is used to
purchase pure-bred livestock by farm
boys and girls.
The premium list for the exposition
just issued includes prizes for calves
and pigs and chickens. Special inter
est will be taken in the sweepstakes
offered for the best COW and her calf,
both belonging to the youthful exhib-
itor, and for the best pen of chickens
and best SOW with litter It is ex-
pected that the competition will be
particularly keen in the calf classes,
as more than 100 animals will be en-
tered from all sections of the State.
Only animals or their. progeny, pur-
chased through the loan fund and
owned by members of the Junior
Breeders Association may compete
for these prizes. Some very fine stock
will be shown, the Agricultural De-
partment states, as more than s50,000
have been invested in these pure-bred
animals in the past five years.
Last year at the National Dairy
Show at indianapolis the New Jersey
Club herds of Guernseys, Jerseys and
Holsteins all won first against entries
from every part of the United States.
A number OF the heifers have won in
open competition against individuals
of national reputation in both state
and national dairy shows. All of
these animals were obtained through
the "Frelinghuysen Fund" and are
owned by members of the Junior
Breeders Association.
Boys and girls in the rural schools
are taking a more prominent part in
the Fairs activities each year and
now have special buildings for their
exhibits, the Legislature having set
aside funds for this purpose. The
friendly rivalry which is aroused
through the competition at the exposi-
tion serves to foster an ambition for a
betterment of their products, and
each season sees an increase in the
number of displays The Judging of
animals in the ring of the Coliseum is
an event always looked forward to by
the juniors, and their practical appli-
cation of theoretical knowledge has
been found to be of great benefit to
them.
