First we let the calf to the cow anil

milking Sometimes but not in all

in certain elements it ncccHsitn.cH a
modification for such use We find
by tho exports on nutritious at ur
experimental stations that one tjtiart
or milk Is equal to three-fourths

flour Is the cheapest of man's foods
atid by far tho most valunble yet of
all the animal foods milk is ny far

Important. The most of us look Upon
milk as a beverage and not us a food
simply because It is a fluid. Therefore
It Is erroneotiBy classed with toffee
tea soup and other like things Now
let us Htop and consider the L'o.npol
tion of milk so wo will be able t clest
it nut us a beernge.
Milk consis-ts of piotelds. fats sugar
and mineral matters. I'rotelds Is t
far the more Important of these in
Xooil value ob not only It acts uke fatu
and sugars but It has a distinct func-
tion of its uwn. which is to build up
the tissue of the body. The f.us and
sugar serve as fuel for the both and
mineral matters go to liuiKr- bone
teeth and for othor phvHlologir.il
purposes. Therefore from thin analj -sla
above we can see that It is an im-
portant food In mnuy rcBpiets
