Holstein Cows’ Milk 
Best For All 
Purebred Holstein cows’ milk is naturally light 
colored and low in fat percentage, but richest of all in 
nourishing solids. Experiments by scientists have 
conclusively proven that heavy, yellow milk is not the 
most nutritious, for the reason that its large fat globules 
render it difficult to digest. Slowly, but surely, in the 
light of modem understanding, State Boards of 
Health are learning that the proper milk stan- 
dard is not that which insists on a high 
percentage of fat in milk, but in a high grade of 
health giving, vitality imparting solids such as is 
contained in Holstein cows’ milk.
