supposed to require The combined
services of a higher mathemati-
elan. an organic chemist and an
expert pharmacist.
One ancient principle, however,
still retains its supremacy. There
is no adequate substitute for
mothers milk in the first few
weeks or months Of life. Mothers
n4ilk a made for human infants
that profound thought is not
original with me-designed for
their digestion and nutrition and
suits them nor perfectly than
any other food. Every infant de-
serves and has the right to expect
1T will be nourished by mothers
milk at the beginning Of its life.
Nothing else gives it quite such q
good start.
But it need not be kept up as
long as we used to believe. As |
say, we have learned so much
about artificial infant feeding that
1t Is now not only Thoroughly sci
entific but very much simplifed.
Manufactured Infant Foods
There are plenty of manufac-
tured infants foods that can be
purchased and except those that
have too much sugar and give the
baby a false look of health by
making it fat, they are all quite
healthy and proper. Some babies
have the sort of digestion that can
handle only one of these special
formulas.
But for practical purposes cows
milk is the best, cheapest and most
available basis for substitute in
FAINT feeding,
Human milk and cows milk
have the same chemical compost
ton, but the proportions of the es-
sential nutrients are somewhat
different. Cows milk has about
twice as much protein and about
Henderson daily dispatch., 1944-10-05
Intent Feeding by Formula

half as much sugar as mother'I
milk. The excess of protein doesn't
make any difference. Excessive
protein produces no symptoms in
infants, although the older text-
books used to have long lists of the
horrors which might be caused by
too much protein in the infants
diet. An infant requires about IA
grams OF protein per pound per
day and cows milk contains this in
IL ounces, so it is easy to calcu-
late the required amount.
Amount of Sugar Needed ;
Sugar sufficient to bring cows
milk to the same content as moth
er's milk must be added. 1t does
not make any difference what kind
Of sugar you use. Children's spe-
cialists have long since given up
the idea that it has to be in form
that is in mothers and cows milk
- lactose. You can use ordinary
sugar out of the sugar bowl and
the infant will digest it all right.
But If your conscience feels better
by having an exact imitation of
mothers milk you can get lactose
or maltese or deXtrose at the gro
Gerry or drug store, OF you a use
cane sugar syrup.
The fat in mothers milk is
somewhat more finely emulsifed
than in cows milk, but this does
not cause any digestive disturb
ances.
A formula then for an infant Of
average weight is:
Milk-12 ounces &
Added carbohydrate (sugar,
syrup, l%actose, dextrose or malt
ose) l ounce.
Water to make-18 ounces.
Since milk is deficient in Vita
min c and d some orange juice and
cod liver oil must be given TIE il.
FAINT daily.
And the milk should be bactsxi-
ologically clean-pasteurized OF
boiled.

Potato Storage
Advice Given by
Montana Station

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. for con-
trolling storage dry rot of potatoes
are made by the department of bot
any and bacteriology at the Montana
Agricultural Experiment station.
Since dry rot organisms usually
attack potatoes through breaks in
the skin caused by rough handling
during harvesting and storing, de-
partment workers suggest making
storage conditions favorable for
healing potato wounds. Injuries to
the tuber will heal or cork over in
about two weeks if the cellar tenn
perature remains between so and 60
degrees F., and if the humidity is
high.
The next control step is to make
conditions unfavorable for parasitic
fungi to grow and this may be done
by reducing the temperature after
two week at between so and 60 de-
grees and maintaining it at IS to 40
degrees +. At these temperatures
the losses from ory = rot will be
slight, esecially if the tubers are
carefully graded and dry, and the
storage place is well ventilated.
If the desired temperature cannot
be maintained and dry rot increases,
department workers recommend
grading the tubers and dispoSing OF
all ma KeJable potatoes. II there are

Check on Supply
Of Winter Feeds
Will Mean Money

BOZEMAN.-.With maximum pro-
duction of dairy products being urged
to meet heavy wartime demands, j.
o. TretSven, extension dairy special
ist at Montana State college, sug-
gests that dairymen make a close
check now of their feed supplies to
be sure they have enough to carry
their herds through the winter.
Often. he said, there is a tendency
to keep more cattle than can be
safely O. economically carried
through the winter. When this hap
pens the dairyman will discover late
in the winter that the supply of
feed is running short and that addi-
tional feed is hard to find and often
very expensive. In such circum-
stances, profits are reduced because
of either lowered production due to
short rations or from the purchase
of high priced feeds.
Now is the time, TretSven said, to
make a careful check of feed sup
plies and requirements for the
winter and to figure literally in
making such a survey. An extra
stack of hay or an extra ton of feed
is good insurance against a long
feeding period.
Now is the time, too, to Gull out
low producers in the herd, shy breed
ers and COWS with ill-shaped udders
and teatS.

Collie Small Is
Featured Writer
In Posts Issue

Collie Small, Glasgow-born United
Press correspondent in Europe and
the son of MI. and Mrs. S. G. (Ski)
Small of Portland, has an article
featured in last weeks issue of the
Saturday Evening Post. 1t is titled
How to Put Salt on a German
Generals Tail"
AS a rowing UP correspondent,
Small comes by his wanderlust
naturally for his father, a pioneer
day Valley county sheriff, has COW
cred a large portion of North Amer
lea, from Mexico to Alaska, where
he proSpected in the days of the
Klondike gold rush.
Small's story is a humor-sparked
and ~fast-movlng account of how an
American lieutenant persuaded a
German general to make a bloodless
surrender in France with some TO-
600 troops. The story is an intimate
one, for Small was present when
surrender negotiations went on, SO
miles inside the German lines. The
slightly daffy trip became a success
when the Germans honor was sat-
lSfled by a simulated air attack,
thus giving him an excuse to capt.
ulate.
Small is a graduate of Stanford
university and WORKED in San Fran
n Salem, Ore, before going
TO the east coast on a United Press
assignment. FROM there he went
overseas. His father, also former
deputy state registrar OF motor We
.icles, is now engaged IN war work

Patrol Chief Urges Drivers
Prepare for Winter Hazards

and to city and county highway de-
partments, is being issued, said
Chief Sheridan, both because of this
reduction in the country's ire
placeable stock of automobiles, and
because of a sharp increase in last
winters mileage death rate over
the previous winter.
Chief Sheridan urged all city and
county highway departments TO re-
pair snow removal machines, since
new ones are hard to get, and to
attempt to line up labor for essen
tial snow clearance work so essen
tial supplies and workers can get
through.
He called upon all truck fleet
operators and individual al owners
to take immediate steps for their
W protection this winter. These,
he said, should include checking
the condition of defroster units,
anti-skid chains, heaters and wind
shield wipers, and providing ade-
quate anti-freeze. Repairing and re-
placing this necessary winter equip
ment now, Chief Sheridan said, will
make sure essential vehicles will get
through safely and on time when
snow and ice arrive.
Winter accidents in the Sc STOW
belt states last winter caused the
mileage death rate to increase SO
percent over the summer rate in
those states, Sheridan said, while
more than usual snow and ice south
of the Mason Dixon Line caused a
jump of "a per cent in the other
IL states.
This was a tremendous falling off
in safety from the winter of 1942-43.
Then the winter increase in the
death rate vas "a percent in the
snow belt states, and 5 per cent in
the south, Sheridan said, and even
that record was not a good one, for
winter accidents are preventable.
In var as in peace, the supervisor
declared, inadequate traction and
visibility are the primary
reasons for winter traffic accidents,
according to the research by the
National Safety Councils COM
on winter driving hazards.
The answer is plain, Chief Sheri-
dan declared: Reduce your speed,
never start out during bad snow or
.ce conditions without your anti
kid chains on, and your windshield
and defroster in perfect con-
lition. Get them repaired, and be
1repared-nowl'
