stitute for fresh milk for children. The U. S. Department of Agricul
ture has placed dried milk high on the list of “ defense foods” whose
increased production is sought during 1941 and ’42/ 1

follow this practice of turning on electric lights in laying houses esrly
in the morning during winter months. The piectice compensates for
the fewer hours of daylight and gives hens • full day of eating and
