XX HISTORICAL 



Although the table accounts for all the milk pro- 

 duced, it does not tell the whole story, since the prep- 

 aration of a number of products results in the formation 

 of vast quantities of by-products that are not used to 

 the fullest advantage for human food. 



New York City alone consumes 1,600,000 quarts of 

 milk a day, but even this enormous quantity means 

 only 0.6 pint per capita. The consuming public has 

 been slow to realize the value of milk and its products, 

 and too much emphasis cannot be laid upon the fact 

 that even at the largely increased cost of all dairy 

 products they are still some of the cheapest and the 

 most healthful of foods, especially for growing children, 

 and should be used in much larger quantities.
