What U. S. county gives the most milk? McHenry County, Ill. What U. S. county has the most sick cows, the greatest number of infected farmyards ? What county do dairymen speak of as the "black belt?'

Last week despite supplications of "downstate" farmers, the Chicago Board of Aldermen proposed an ordinance which requires that all milk sold...

The real offenders are the colleges themselves. Little by little, they have nourished, pampered, milk-fed their lusty infant until--lo! the child is stronger than the parent and threatens to reverse the normal order and rule the household...
...Significance. As Aeschylus wrote the tragedy of Agamemnon's homecoming, so Mr. Erskine has essayed the comedy of Menelaus' return. It is a comedy of manners-all conversation (and plenty of it), witty, charming, subtle. Much of it is new as milk still warm from the udder, and much of it is old as human nature.
