r42 STORRS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 

Remarks.—The preceding family was of French-Canadian descent. The 
wife of the carpenter helped about the housework. ‘The study was made dur- 
ing the busy planting season, and all were at more or less active work. The 
farm, which was worth about $2,000, was heavily mortgaged, but this mortgage 
was being slowly paid off. The income of the family was very considerably 
increased by the mother taking in washing during the summer months. Pork 
was usually consumed in much larger quantities than beef. Milk and eggs 
were very largely sold, the children at times being allowed little or no milk to 
drink. 

No. 223. DIETARY OF A MAN IN THE ADIRONDACK MOUN- 
TAINS“IN SUMMER. 
The subject of this study was the same as in dietaries Nos. 175 (1896 Report), 
184, and 202. The study began August 9, 1897, and continued fourteen days 
with forty-two meals. The subject had been sick in July, which doubtless 
accounts in part for the smaller amounts of nutrients in the food eaten. His 
weight was 141 pounds. For further description, see pages 133-135.
