iCoiiMiiha tin *111<-Ml ion ot milk as .1
food from tho point of view of the
;consumer, to show why it is a \ tlualile
part of Ills dint, and undrr what coil
ditions it Is most valuable. The iin
portancc of such a consulsittlon in in-
' dlcatcd bj the fact that milk und
cream together furnish III per cent of
Iho total food of the average Amer-
ican family.
Questions pertaining to the care
and management of dulry rows, tho
effect of different ays to ins of feeding
on the yluld and quality of milk, the
distribution und marketing of milk,
the manufacture of butter, cheese, anil
other dairy products, and related
questions have been studied at the
agricultural experiment slut Ions of the
United States and elsewhere. The
study or the digestibllty and nutritive
value o( milk and its products has
formed a part of the cooperative nu-
trition Investigations carried on under
the auspices of the office of Kxporl-
ni' itt .stations, and many facts which
litre of interest and importance have
' been secured.

and characteristics of milk reference

Milk ns It Is drawn from the cow Is
familiar to ull as an opaque whitish

How to Stay In Ijove.
For Instance, absence, in my opln>
Ion, has never yet made any heart
grow fonder. AhMnce, aa a matter
of fact, makes the heart forget, ao
don't be absent—too much.
I don't think, either, that love can
stand certainty. If you tell aomeona
ihoy aro going to spond 40 years in
one place they will immediately long
to got away.
If you mako anyone feel that not
only are they married but that they
are vory much married—that, In fact,
they are hopelessly married—they will
want to got away, loo. So don't
"settle down" too much.
Uovo can lint stand tears and It
can not stand depression.
Uovo, really, wants a lot of stage
managing. Love wants oceans of sym-
pathy, oceans of tact, a lot of smllea.
and a good deal of flattery And In
attending to nil this you will keep
your own love thriving.

Not how to fall In—most people

That Is a problem that worries so
many women.
Plenty of girls marry a man, only

monotony has killed romanoe, and

The Story of

XXVIII.—TEXAS
r[E lll-fnted
expedition
o f Navorez
was responsi-
ble for the
first Interest
In Texas.
This large ex-
pcdlioii wns wrecked at the
mouth of the Mississippi In 1528.
Four members Including Cabeza
(le Vacu were captured by the
IndliinH and spent eight years
wandering through the country
eventually reaching the Gulf of
California. It was their ac-
counts of rich Indian villages
which led the Mexican governor
to send Coronada to explore this
country. He returned after a
two-years' trip without discover-
ing the reputed riches which he
was seek lug.
To counteract the aggressions
of the French settlements In
Louisiana, the Spanish estab-
lished many mlsslona throughout
Texas, the most Important be-
ing at San Antonio. Whan the
United States negotiated the
Louisiana Purchase from France
they considered that Texas was
a part of this territory. Orer
thla question war waa nearly
precipitated bat Anally the Uni-
ted Statea withdrew their clalma
In exchange for Spaln'a with-
drawal of clalma to the Oregon
region.
Many Americans began to Bet-
tie In Texas, among them Gen-
eral Sam Houston and Stephen
F. Austin. Mexico became
alarmed nt this rapid Increase
of American pioneers which
threatened to crowd out the Mex-
ican population. Oppressive
measures were adopted and
caused the Americans to rlae
In rebellion In 1880. During thla
uprising occurred the gnllant de-
fense of the Alamo by a handful
of Americans and their alaughter
by the vastly superior numbers
of the Mexicans. "Remember the
Alamo," became the Texans* slo-
gan. General Houston decisive-
ly defeateil the Mexican forces
nt the battle of Han Jacinto nnd
the Republic of Texas was
launched with Houston as presi-
dent. The flag rentalned one
star, nnd from this has come the
name the Lone Star Slate. After
considerable opposition from the
North, Texas was anr wd to
the Union and became the twen-
ty elghtli state.

This solid matter ,or "total nutrienta,"
Is made up of protein, fats, car-

,.iitsj but roughly speaking, one-
ixw-ntleth of tin- total solids are min-
eral substuiic. one-fourth protein,

portant nili■ f iious ingredients which
.no indisp' a: a de in the formation of
body tissues d tluldMi they may also
be burned in tile body to lurnlsh
in rgy, th'-lr fuel value being about
i quel to that of Hie carbohydrates and
li .-s than half hk great as that of the
fats. I*i-i.i••in is found In different

milk tb" i• i i ici11 ,! j. -ii. :t . ompound
i.< casein. He.-dden tin casein there
th a certain amount t.f ilbumln pres-
ent In milk, but the quantity is very
much smaller than that of the case-
in. being on the average about one-
■ uventh of the total protein.
The total protein of milk should not
vary In .uij great ilegret, and will
a erage not :ar from 3.3 per cent of
the whole milk, or about 26 per cent
ol the total solids.
The fat of milk Is commercially the
most important of its constituents,
since It Is the source of butter and
enters largely into the composition of
(house. It is found throughout the
milk in globules, vurlng in sine in the
milk from different animals, which
being llghtor than water, lend to rise
to tile top of the milk as it stands,
forming the cream. The amount and
quality of fat in milk varies widely.
The amount should not fall bolow it
per cant, and except in unusually rich
milk ■will not exceed 5 per cent. It
asorages about 4 per cont of the milk
or about 31 per cent of the total solids.
The chief carbohydrates which oc-
cur Ui milk is milk sugar. The
amount of sugar in cow's milk varies
from 4 to (I per cent, the average
being about r. per cent of the total
milk, or 38 por cont of the total solids.
The milk sugar remains In the whey
when casein or curd Is removed in
cheese making, and may bo readily re-
covered. The manufacturing of milk
sugar from whey is an Important In-
dustry.
Tho ash constituents In milk con-
isists innlnly of tho phosphates and
ichlorids of soda, potash, and lime.
| Most of these are dissolved In the
plasma, but tiny particles of tho phos-
Phates of lime remain undissolved,
and aro said to bo a cause of the
bluish tint found In milk. The min-
eral matters make up about seven-
tonllis of 1 per cont of the whole milk
or 5 por cent of the solid matter.
The value of milk for nourishment
is not aa generally understood as It
should he. Many people think of It,
for adults at least as a beverage
rather than a food, and so do not real-
ize that a glass of it adds as much to
tho nutritive value of a meal as a
quarter o fa loaf of bread or a good
slice of boef. A quart of average milk
contains the same amount nutritive In-
gredients aa 0.7R of a pound of beef
or 6 ounces of bread. H should be
borne in mind, however that It re-
quires no preparation, has no waste,
and is more thoroughly digested than
moBt vegetable food. Milk and its
products are fully entitled to their
prominent place In our food list.
