MILK FOR BABES-BUTTERMILK
FOR ADULTS
All authorities on diet my that
milk Is n perfect food. This Ih truo
In n Ronfo; nnd In nnollier It Ih nlto
gcthor untrue and misleading.
Tho nntjiral food of tho Infant la
mother's milk. Hut tho appalling mor
tality or Infants Is duo chlelly to tho
uso of cow's milk, carrying tho seeds
of dlsoaso from tho cow, tho air and
water, and planting thorn In' n soil
mado favorable by Improper feeding,
lack of fresh air, bathing and ox
orclso. Not ovon cereal starch kills
moro Inrnnts betweon tho agos of ono
nlid six than docs milk in tho first two
years.
Cow's milk differs nintorlally from
tho Infant's natural food, containing
twlco as much proteld and only about
half ns much sugar, but tho danger
lies moro in tho contamination of tho
milk sold In tho cities. Fortunately
good work Is being .lono In many
jilncos to remedy this ovll.
Milk Is called tho perfect food be
cause It contains nil tho olonionts nec
osflury for tho growtli of tho Infant,
nnd In tho proper proportion. Hut tho
physical constitution and development
of tho lnfnnt differ much from thoso
of tho adult, and tho food should dif
fer accordingly.
Tho growtli of tho Infant In tho
llrct six years la rapid, and a largo
proportion of llmo Is necossary to
build tho bony franiowork. Milk Is
in this respect an appropriate food for
tho Infant and Inapproprlnto for tho
adult Tho llmo of milk being little
needed for maintaining tho bony
framework of tho adult, Js largely de
posited In tho arteries, contributing to
tho distinctive disease of old ago
linrdonlng of tho arteries.
Tho prlmo causo of hardening of tho
nrteries, which Is also a causo of
"heart failure" and of certain forms
of Insanity, Is auto-lntoxicatlon, orsolf
poisoning, resulting from tho ab
sorption of wnsto matter from tho
lower part of tho alimentary canal, of
which I shall have moro to say In deal
ing with "Hroad," in n sub'scquent ar
ticle. Doflcioncy of iron In tho blood of tho
ndult is serious; tho porcentago of
iron in cow'b milk Is small, corre
sponding to tho nervous inactivity of
tho infant. In tills particular milk Is
ti vory unsatisfactory adult diet,
though it sustains life Indefinitely.
But tho unsultnblllty or milk to tho
ndult Is moro ovldunt on comparing
tho intant with tho adult anatomy and
physiology: In tho Infant, for in
Htanco( tho uppor part of tho alimen
tary cannl is almost a Btralght tube,
allowing tho milk to pubs quickly to
tho lntostlno, which is adapted to its
digestion, Tho adult, stomach Is n
tlooply curved pouch, which In certain
abnormal conditions rotalns tho food
for sovoral hours longer thnn tho
proper tlmo for digestion. Tho fer
mentation of milk nlono Is not nlways
noriouB, but tho formontatlon of moat,
uoroalu nnd fruits in tho stomach,
through tho agency of mill;, leads to
Horlous results,
Tho proportion of Iron In tho blood
Ih very small, hit vory Important.
When it Is found to bo dnllclont, t is
very difficult to supply it. Probably
Ub best bouico Is tho brown part or
wheat which is excluded from our
fine patent whlto Hours, of which wo
stintl spoak later. Grapes, tho
brown part of wheat, cabbage (raw)
and lettuce readily supply iron.
It has been found that persons living
oxcluslvely on milk lack "sand," a
quality which tho Infant novor needs
to display., sinco it Is absolutely do
pondont. In llcsti-oating animals tho stomach
and liver are much turgor in propor-
The Jewish instructions on diet pro
hibit eating meat and milk together,
though this may bo for an othical
reason.
Tho writer has recently mado sev
eral days' tosts of an oxcluslvo milk
diet on himself and others, carefully
recording results. A clinngo from
tho ordinary mixed diet to any mon
odlot is hanoflclal, and milk is not
nn exception. Hut tho benefits de
rived from the milk diet Which have
recently been much advertised should
be credited to tho monodlet, avoiding
tho Injurious effects of mixing several
Incompatible foods at' tho same meal,
Kquully satisfactory results con bo
shown from many other monodlots
ovon tho peanut, which Is tho most
concentrated of all foods, containing
nn excosn of albumen. Great gains
have boon recorded from oxcluslvo
diets of beans, oatmeal, wheat, etc., as
woll ns milk, pursued for CO days or
moro.
I'rof. Mctchnlkoff, bend of tho Pas
teur Institute, who lias mado most
praiseworthy investigations Into tho
causes of our early decay, has con
cluded that tho falluro of tho averngo
man to live ills natural term of life,
100 years, is duo to tho dovolopmcnt
of pathogenic gcrniB In tho lower pnrt
of tho food lubo from Improperly di
gested, superfluous food, nnd recojn
mends tho uso of buttermilk ns an
antidote.
Tho chief causes of tho offoudlng
conditions in tho colon, tho largo intes

of tho stronm of lire, nroi Too much

and not enough fruit, nnd bnd combi

Buttermilk Is not a natural corrective
of these abnormal conditions, although
It no doubt serves as an autldoto, nor
is the "Intornal bath," good In a way,
tho true remedy; tho cnuso should bo
removed.
It has been snld that "wine Is tho
milk of ugc," and or unfermonted wlno
thin Is truo. Tho grnpo contains much
sugar, acid and Iron, which aro de
ficient In milk. Tho most noted case

You can make tho best buttermilk

President Koosovclt tuts Just signed a
proclamation setting asldo and nam

county In eastern Florida and another
proclamation creating the Dakota na
tional forest In Hillings county, North
Dakota. Inasmuch as tho lust named

Dakota, tho two proclamations add

those whcroln land will bo put under

easternmost national forests. Prac
tically all tho other national forests
are In tho Hocky mountain nnd tho
Pacific conBt Btates. Tho Florida for
est has an area of 201,480 acres, of
which about one-fourth has been taken
up under vniious land laws. It covers
a plateau between tho St. John's and
Ochlnwahu rivers and at no point is
nn elovntipn exceeding 1D0 feet above
sea lovel obtained. Tho area Is by nn
turo bettor fitted for tho production ot
forest growth than for any other pur

seems particularly well adapted to tho

In addition to ttio pines and scrub

The Wyoming experiment station
hnvo Just concluded n year's investi
gation in lamb feeding with a view to
ascertaining the best ration.
Tlircc experiments wore carried on
nt tho samo tlmo. Previous experi
ments with small numbors of lumbs
had shown that oats nnd oil meal
seemed to balance the tiutlvo hay ra
tion about ns well as any grains tried.
Therefore, ono lot of 40 lambs was fed
this ration and another lot was fed al
falfa hay and corn. Shropshire-Merino
cross-bred lambs wero used.
A comparison of peaB In tho field
and pea hay was mado with two lots
of CotBwold grade lambs, having 40
lambs In each lot.
All tho lambs wero fed In uncovered
yards protocted by n high board fence,
with tho exception of tho lambs, upon
pons In tho field. Theso woro run In
smnll areas fenced with woven wlro,
the fonceB being moved as necessary,
stemmy. The lambs liked it, howover,
and showed n steady appetite for it.
Thoro was not the slightest difficulty
in getting them to eat it at tho start.
Tho lambs eating pea hay mado tho
low gain of 1G.9 pounds per head In
14 weeks. It required 1,472 pounds of
tho hay to produco 100 pounds gain
In livo weight. This poor showing for
pea liny Is homo out by tho resultn
cotton with Lot 10. which contained
a very different class of lambs and
wns not carried on In comparison with
Lot C, but which shows n still poorer
gain of only C.8 pounds per head In
14 weeks.
Tho pea hay seemed very unsatisfac
tory, and whlto nothing Is definitely
established by this experiment with
regard to tho amount of pea hay need
ed for tho nroduction of 100 rounds
gain, yot It can bo definitely stated
that It gives unsatisfactory resultB for
fattening lambs. Tho lambs do not
