A recent medical writer expresses snrprise at the want of appreciation â€" even among medical menâ€" of the real value of milk, in comparison with other articles of food, and, in the case of housekeepers especially, who frequently tind it difficult to achieve as great a variety in articles of diet as is desirable, this article is profuse in the facilities thus provided. In particular, it would appear that, so far as its nutritive \alue is concerned, milk is far from being understood, as compared with other articles of animal tood. Again, there is less difference between the economical value of milk, beefsteak, eggs or fi^h than is com- monly supposed. Thus the quantity of water to good milk is 87 per cent.' in round steak 75 per cent., in fatter bpef GO per cent., and in eggs about G3 per cent. Now, from analysis made, It is estimated that sirloin steak, reck- oning the loss from bone, is as dear at 85 cents a pound as milk at 24 cents a quart that round steak at 20 cents a pound is as dear as milk at 14 cents a quart and corned beel at 17 cents as dear as milk at 15. Tlie result from these deductions seems to be that milk ac even 12 cents a quart is the cheap- est animal food that can be used. MarkdalEIGURE $A9tt $( '0^A E^conrag'e tlie Sditor.

FOR SCRATCHES ON HORSES f CURE Scratches on Horses For FOR SCRATCHES ON HORSES As a rule an editor gets about 1000 kicks to one caress. Once and a while he gets a kind word, and it warms and cheers his weather beaten, stormed racked heart to the innermost core. Most people are afraid to tell an editor when he writes an article that pleases them, for fear of making him proud, we suppose, but if they find anytinng that does not precisely accord with their view.s, they will neglect their business to hunt iiiin up and tell him of it. Pshaw 1 Dear friends, don't think you will spoil the editor by giv- ing him an occasional word of cheer, any more than you will spoil your child by complimenting it upon a piece of patchwork it has finished. Of course you can beat the job yourself, but that dosen't defer you from heap- icg words of encouragement on .the child. It lias done its best. So you cnuld doubtless beat the average edit- i r as running a paper Of course, you can. The man does not live who can't beat an editor at running a paper. The editor i:i willing to acknowledge that you can. He only runs it be- cause you have not time to but this fact need not defer you from giving him a word of encouragement eccas- ionally.
