fats, and proteins needed by the hui
man body, he pointed out, and it is
not a highly expensive food.
The protein of milk is readily di-
gestible. Most protein foods need to
be chewed, but milk can be swallow
ed whole. The energy-producing SUI
gar in milk is easily assimilated, he
continued.
Likewise, the fats in milk are pack
ed with energy, though they are not
quite so digestible as the milk sugar.
They not only supply energy, but they
are stored in the body tissues to be
called upon when needed, Halverson
explained.
Milk contains all the known vita
Minis except vitamin G, which pre-
vents scurvy. Large amounts of Wit
amin C are present in lemon juice.
Vitamin A, present in butter, keeps
the eyes and other body tissues in
tact, he continued. iVtamin D, some
times called the sunshine vitamin,
helps build bones out of lime and
phosphorus.
Lime and phosphorus are present
in milk in large amounts. Many 9TH
er minerals are also found in milk,
although iron is not.
Whole milk is we'll balanced with
food element sneeded by the body, he
pointed out, the small quantities that
most people consume are not enough
to supply the body's needs, especially
with minerals.

II think he might be. if he, had an

recollection of those early-morning
lessons in the sunny field.
''Sherm tells me you take to it like

Before Thora could think Of any
reply to that surprising remark,
Selwyn had changed the subject with
his usual abruptness.

ming. You can tell her it's all right

brings you back"
Thora was not at all averse to the
suggested arrangement. She had
been to the city but once, and only
for a few hours. She did not par
ticularly relish the idea of intruding
herself upon Wilma and Ali Babba
for the ride in. But she would have
Pat for company and. once the city
was reached. she undoubtedly would
have time for various errands Of her
own.

HORSES, MULES ON
DECLINE IN STATE
Iowa Has Over Twice AS
Many; Still Valuable AS
Farm Motive Power

College Station, Raleigh, March s.
In Iowa, one of the nations foremost
farming States, there are more than
twice as many horses and mules as
in North Carolina.
According to figures just released
on the agricultural census taken last
year, Iowa had 875,198 horses and
mules over two years old on January
1, 1885, while North Carolina had $685.
6O4.
However, said DR.. G. W. Forster,
agricultural economist at State Col
lege, this does not necessarily mean
that most North Carolina farmers are
handicapped by a shortage of work
stock Iowa has more land in cultiva-
ton than this State.
But these figures do show that lead
ing farmers still consider horses and
mules as a valuable form of motive
power for farm machinery, he pointed
out
According to the census, there were
378,336 horses and mules over q
months old in North Carolina in 1880.
That means the number of draft ami
mails in the State decreased by ap-
proximately 10000 during the five
year period.
In 1884, there was one horse or mule
for each 24.24 acres of land placed IN
cultivation, including pastures and
land on which the crops failed.
