COTTAGE CHEESE FOOD VALUES. The farmers have been asked to produce pro-duce more food of every kind. But in cottage cheese they have a food that is already produced on their farms. .To have it they do not need to plow another acre of ground, nor plant an- . other seed, nor invest another dollar. Pound for pound cottage cheese is the equivalent of lean- meat in food value; it contains 25 times as much lime us meat, and lime is a most valuable valu-able bone building material, absolutely necessary for growing children. Cottage Cot-tage cheese contains three times as much lime to the pound as a dozen , eggs and is Just as efficient a muscle builder a 'meat or eggs, ant1, more efficient than beans or cereals, i The U. S. department of agriculture , has launched ,a campaign to stimulate the use of this by-product of the butter but-ter industry. Over 40 per cent of the I entire milk production is used In but-' but-' ter manufacture; when one hundred .pounds of milk is used to make butter, the result is four pounds of bntter, twelve- pounds of butter milk and eighty-four pounds of skim milk. Skim milk is too valuable a humau food to 6e wasted and It can be made into cottage cheese and utilized wita great effect.
