Josh Billings on Milk. — I want to say something. 1 want to say something in reference to milk az a fertilizar. There are various kinds ov milk. There iz sweet milk, sour milk, skim milk, butter milk, and the milk of human kindness; but the mostest best milk iz the milk that hazzent the most water in it. Butter milk izzent the beat for butter. Milk iz spontaneous, and has done more to encourage the growth of human folks than any other likwid. Milk is lacteal; it is also acquatic, while under the patronage of milk vendors. Milk is mysterious. Cokernut has never been solved yet. Milk is also another name of human kindness. Milk and bread is a pleasant mixtur. Sometimes, if milk is allowed to stand too long, a Btmm rises to the surface, which iz apt to skare fokes that lives in cities, but it dozzent foller that the milk iz nasty. This scum iz cilled kreme by fokes who inhabit the kuntrjy.' Kreuie iz the parent of the butter, and butler, is 70 cents a pound. The most common, ruj'.k in use, without a doubt, iz skim miljc. Skim milk is made by skimming the milk, wliiclvizi considered sharp practiss. :Milk is obtained from cows, hogs, rats, and other'anirrials thife have hair. - Snaix and geese'don't' jjive'uiilk.' I forgot to state, in conclusion, that cow milk, if well watered, brings 10 cents per quart.
