Good milk -pure, unskimmed, un adul-
terated milk front healthy cow -is the
cheapest food man COM eat. When we eat
bread and driok milk we eat bread, butter
and cheese and drink water --all of them
in the best eombination and condition to
nourish the human system. • Three
pints of milk, weighing three and
three-quarter pounds, contain as much
nutriment as one pound of beef, Prof,
Sheldon remarks that there is no loss in
cooking as there is in °oohing the
beef, and there is no bone in it that cannot
be eaten; it is sirnple, palatable, 'nutri-
tious, healthful, cheap and always ready
fel' use with or without preparador. This
is to say that, chomically,.. three -sevenths
pounds of milk is the equwatent of one
pound of beef in flesh -forming or nitro-
genous constituents, and three-seventemithe
pounds of milk is the equivalent of one
• pound of beef in heat -producing elements,
or carbo -hydrates. We must therefore
assume from the data offered that •the
relative values of beef mid milk as human
'food are as three and one-half pounds to
eleven and one.half pounds, or as, in round
