Drink More Milk.
Suggesting .that perhaps it was true that the farmer knew better how to feed his stock than his wife and family, one speaker in the course of the discussion at this week’s meeting of the Wellington Philosophical Society said that we had not sufficiently explored our home markets. Half a pint per head per day was all the milk that was drunk in the Dominion. This was too low a figure, and if it was increased to a pint it would be equivalent to the consumption of an extra 7000 tons of butter per year. This would be of value to the farmer and to the health of the community. Lord Bledisloe remarked that the consumption of milk in the Dominion was certainly low when compared with some other countries. In Scandanavian countries, where the consumption per head was considerably higher, the result was reflected in the very healthy children one saw. The consumption of milk, he added, certainly was a great aid in warding off disease.
