PROPER FOOD FOR

. YOUNG CHILDREN

Food for children between three and all years 0! ass. says Miss caroline L. Hunt. scientific assistant of the Offlceof Home Economics, should pt chosen with reference to their bodily needs. A little child who is carefully fad in accordance with his bodily needs- receives every day at least one food from each of the following

groups:

1. Milk and dishes made chiefly ol

milk (most important of the group as regards children's diet); meet fish. D0\llil`y. eggs and meal

substitutes.

. Bread and other cereal foods.

.' Butter and other wholesome tale

. ‘Vevetablee and fruits,

Simple sweets.

Milk is the natural food oi babiei

and the most important food for young children. A quart of milk a day is a _good allowance for a child. Thi greater part of this its usually giver as n drink of served' on cereals or ii the form of bread and milk. Milk may also be served on fruits that are no' very acid (baked apples or pears berries, and others), in soups, gravies cutard. junket, and other puddingr and may be used in place of water ir

cooking cereals.

Good whole milk is desirable, but

ii a mother is obliged to choose be tween clean milk and rich milk, sbt had better take the clean milk. Bee' of ali. of course, _is clean whole milk but if that can not be obtained it i- better to use clean fresh skim mill than _digty__o_r,_questlona\>le whole mill A quart of skim milk. even separate .skim miik,"ooii-tainswabiiiit a"tiilrd_ o a cupful of solid food, which ie nearly all there was in the whole milk, ox cept the butter fat, Compared will most other foods milk contains mucl - lime but every little iron, Spllnacl ` and other green vegetables and egg yolks are, on the other hand. very rich in iron. This is one reason wh; combinations of egg yolks and mill and of vegetables and milk are men tioued so often as fit food for child

ren.

Cereal foods of some sort are user

by _children _practiicaily all over tht

:oi-ld. Breed is the commonest cer al food in this country, though cer eal mus-hes are also very generally

used. Weil-baket; bread and thorough ly cook ed brea fam; cereals are both good for children and with milk should make up a large part of thi diet. Bread may lake the place. to if certain extent. of cereal mushes oi vice versa. but neither can take thi place of milk, meat, fruits and veg

stables.

Fat is an important part of the foot'

of children. Butter, which cbnsistr of ceparated milk fat. and cream which is rich In milk fay and also li the other nourishment substances o' milk. are both wholesome, Salad ollr of various kinds may be given ti children in small amounts.

IN HANDLING

A FARM BT-OCK

tin- ..

(By James ff, Meek.) ‘

Years RSO when poultry and eggs

were considerably cheaper than they are today. not much revenue was_se- cured from the' farm flock. and as the care of the chicks and chickens dev- eloped upon the wife while the men` folks worked afield. it was deemed no more than right that after the table was supplied the surplus should go to her along with the sale of the sur- plus butter. Thus, it became known as the wlfe"s "butter and egg money."

But tlfmes have changed-in fact in

the poultry line. changed consider- ably. Prices for eggs and dressed poultry have doubled and trebled in. the pas; twenty' or thirty years. and the opportunity for an increased rev- enue from the farm is all too appar- ent, and should awaken a more In- creased luterest on the part of the farmer. By this we mean a real. live enthusiastic interest-not o, craze or fancy, as some speak of it-but a sol- id, bed~rock, honest-to-goodness.busl~ ness interest. Because. firstly and lastly., there is money in It--genuine profit. actual return on money in- vested arid labor expended(

Just why the farmers do not_take

more interest In their poultry _and give it the attention it deserves prob- ably arises trom a combination of causes. in the past a few handfuls of corn were thrown to the chickens that roamed the barn_yard. and what revenue was secured was considered “pure velvet." The annual cleaning of the old weatherdieetten chicken- house was a nasty. dirrty job. And then again it seemed n waste of val- uable time to bother with the poultry.

But there ie a way to do everything;

and there is a way to _keep pouibry with profit and without drudgery.

You ought to keep at least a hun"-

dred hens, because they represents a possible investment of a hundred doi- lrtrs for the birds. the cost of housing and feeding can be computed quickly. and if the venture proves successful. one would know exactly what outlay. will be required if you wish to raise the flock to 200 or 3001 birds In luc- ceedlng years, Wa shall desi with a flock of 100. _ ' _

The dam of the' colt is Narroway W. by Lookaway, a mare that has raced with considerable success in the Provinces and Maine for several years past. She was bred to Captain Aub- rey ln 1915 when the stallion was stationed at Prince Edward island.

Trainer Sharon has already' been

His hrst race will likely be at Halifax next fall where he will be one of the starters in the two year old colt. stake.
