Composition of Milk Milk contains approximately 13% solid matter. This is a larger amount than occurs in many foods, yet the fact is frequently overlooked because milk is in liquid form. The solids are composed of several food elements, proteins, fats, sguar, and minerals, each of which performs its special function in nourishing the body. The country minister was giving the milkmaid a lift home in his car, and when he came to her house he set her down. The girl started to thank him. “Oh, don’t mention it,” said the clergyman. The girl blushed and replied: right, sir—mum’s the word.” *. ST.
