Estimated That It is Little More Than a Glass a Day. While it Is difficult to compile any accurate figures on the daily per capita consumption of milk, it is generally conceded that the average for the United States is about .6 of a pint. This i a little more than a glass a a: That this is too small an amount is bevond ocuestion. Adults in particular shouid remember the days of their youth and use more milk than they do. Were it not for the infant, per capita consumption womd be much less than it is. Ac- cording to Vermont bulletin 185, one- sixth of the milk produced by our 22,000,00" cows is used as a food for ‘nfants and young children. It has been figured. that the infant consumes 530 quarts of milk during the first year of its li out the effect of the infant on the !} amount of milk used in various fami- | lies, data were tabulated on 27 fami- lies living in Storrs. The college re- tails about 90 quarts daily to residents of Storrs and hence accurate records were available. The time covered was about three months when college was in session. Families in which the ex- act numbers were known as well as the approximate age of children were lected. These families were divided into three groups and the summarized data is presented blow: Group I: Average number in family, average daily consumption (pints), | i: average per €apita consumption (pints), 1.4 Group II: Average number in family, 4.0; average daily consumption, average per capita consumplion Group 11I: Average number in fam- | 2 average daily consumption, average per carita consumption, 1y 1 Average for 27 families: Average number in family, 322 average daily consumption, 3.45. average per capita consumpntion, 1.07. . ] Group I: Families with one or more | children under 3 vears. Families with children Families with no chil- dren It will be ncted in Grou) T that the “youngsters” were the cause of nearly doubling the consumption over Group II, and :hat it is a haif pint more than in Group III. In Group IIT it can be seen that a quart of milk is about the tandard amount for a family of two. There is no better food for growins poys and girls until they reach ma turity than milk, It is plainly seen that it is not realized, or at least practiced, by families in Group II, having chil- dren 3 to 12 years of age, when the consumption is much less than Group I. The rrobable reason why the con- sumptoon is a little greater in Group TIT than in Group IT is that a pint of milk was not enough to accommodate the family of two and so a quart had to he purchased and the milk used a little more freely The daily consumprion for Storrs of 1.07 pints per capita is considerably larger than for the country. This probably is explained by the fact that the people have all had some educa- tion as to the importance of milk as a food and that they know the supply is of the best. Children under 5 vears of age are also plentiful in Storrs. The population of Connecticut in 1910 is given as 1,114,756. A recent estimate now places it at 1,700,000. TIf this is the case and the average per capita consumption for this mass of people was the same as for Storrs, 1.07 pints, rather than .6 of a pint a day, it would mean a demand for 799,- 600 ‘more pounds of milk daily or 201.- €35 pounds vearly. While the recent survey on the cost of milk production showed that the average production for 3.238 cows was 6.003 pounds vearly, it is proballe that the production for the state is about 5.500 pounds. This being the case. it would take 73,024 more cows to take care of the increase In consumption of milk The writer was curfous t: zet some idea as to what was the per capita consumption of milk on farms where it uced. A questionire was sent farms. most of them retailing 17 replies were received. It was found that the average per capita consumption on these 17 farms was 1.30 pints daily. While this is slightly larzer than for those purchasing their milk, it would seem that there was a chance for the farmer to use more of his own product to zood advantage. All of the fizures presented were obtained under winter conditions. Tt is probatle that in the summer time the consumption is higher. both in town and on the farm. ot weather is the “bread and milk” season and on the farm In particular the big pitcher of milk for drinking purroses has a prominent place—H.

TAKE CARE OF FARM MACHINERY It Life Could Be Doubled by Giving Proper Attention. Farm machinery has advanced In price encrmously, and In some cases it cannot be obtained at all, so it is important that every farmer take the best of care of his machinery. Housinz farm machinery under trees or not housing it at all should be frowned upon by the community as se- verely as not housing lvestock: true, it is not inhumane, out it is just as wasteful, or even more so, for aithough the loss is not so easily observed, it is there just the same. Iron exposed to the elements rusts away very rapidly and the wooden parts rot. in addition. much time is lost in “limbering” up a machinery and it usu- ally comes in a busy season. How many times we have promised “never to do it again” after worrving for half or more with an old rusty plew, trying to get it to scour properly. The average life of farm machinery mizght be doubled by proper care and housing. There are three points to he considered: Housing, repairing and painting. Repaics should be made systematic- 2lly, and as far as possible out of the busy season: winter days can wcil be improvei by attending to this work. Every machine should be gone over thoroughly and examined for worn or hroken parts, which should be repaired or replaced. All loose nut: should Ye tightenel and missing boits replaced.

Sun-Scald Damages Apples This Year There is considerable damage from sun-scald to the standard varleties of apples this vear. The frequent rains in the early part of the season, to- gether with the growth of tender tis- sue in both the fruit and leaves, were conditions which combined to stimu- late sun-scald when the hot weather came on. Sun-scald is recognized by a brown, dried-up condition on_the surface of the apple, but the darhage is only skin deep. It does not greatly injure the actual food value of the fruit, but renders it useless for mar- ket purposes. It can easily be de- tected by the above descrip‘ion from spray injury, which occurs as a rust or roughening of the surface.

For those who have smaller quant!- ties of beans to treat or who do not wish to fumigate, a simpler method is advisable. The bean weevtl in all its stages if killed is subjected to a tem- perature of 130 degrees F' for half an hour. When treating a quantity of beans, the heat will not reach the cen- ter of the mass quickly, so that a long- ér exposure is necessary. To treat the beans, place fhem openly in_shallow pans into a warm oven for an” hour or. more. If the beans are to be used for seed, do not let the heat g0 abave 140 degrees as. the mlnaun; powe; of fhe world.
