Dairy Product As Food.
The products of the dairy arc
■ perhaps the most useful articles
included in the human diet. A
meal made up of dishes into
which no product of dairy cows
enters would not bo such as to in
spire “the turnpike road 1"
people's hearts I find lies through
their mouths, or I mistake man
kind.” Take away the butter
from the bread, the cream for the
coffee and porridge, the short
ening in the crust and the bis
cuits, the milk in the gravy and
in the pudding, the cream for tlm
desert and the various kinds of
cheese which pleases and satisfy,
then take away the cup of »milk
for the little one and the meal
that would be left would be
neither tempting nor nutritious.
The health of our people de
pends so much upon an adequate
supply of pure dairy products
that even a scarcity is always at
tended by suffering and death.
Butter is sometimes referred to
as a luxury, this is a mistake.
Butter is not a luxury but one
of the necessities of life, and its
composition is such that nothing
can take its place and perform
the same functions. Tt is nature’s
law, a law which man can imi
tate but cannot understand. Man
can manufacture from various
fats and oils a substance for but
ter but it cannot take the place
of nature's product because man
cannot understand the needs of
the human body as nature un
derstands them.
The animal body is developed
best when nourished by foods
which have been little manipu
lated by man and machinery.
Dairy products are, as a rule, con
sumed nearly as nature produced
them. This is particularly true
with milk upon which tin* grow
ing body must depend. In the
case of butter only a small per
centage of other products arc
added to the fat extracted from
the milk. Man only manipulates
it in order to put it in convenient
shape for use. It can still he
termed a product of nature de
signed as only nature can design
for use as food by the human
body. National Dairy Union, St.
Paul, Minn.
