Jasper County Democrat, Volume 17, Number 86, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 February 1915 — Value of a Quart of Milk. [ARTICLE]

Value of a Quart of Milk.

When you sell a quart of milk for seven cents you are giving more food for the money than the buyer can get in most other forms. It is twice as cheap as mutton or fresh fish, six times as cheap as dried beef, nearly three times as cheap as beef chuck, 40 per cent cheaper than pork loin, three times as cheap as eggs. The staples that cost less in proportion to food value than milk are such things as potatoes, rice, dates, corn meal, prunes, cheese, wheat bread and beans. The above figures will hold good in the average interior region of the nation.—Farm and Fireside.
