LOOK BACKWARD TO
SEE FORWARD
. Sir Winston Churchill has said,
"The farther backward you can
look, the farther forward you are
likely to see.”
We can look back on June
Pairy Month for a quarter cen
tury of accomplishments and be
come enthusiastic about the poss
ibilities of the nationwide annual
celebration during the next twen
ty five years and longer.
"The dairy industry is an im
portant part of the economy of
each of our 50 states and prov
ides about 28 percent of the total
foodstuffs c onsumed in this
country,” President John F. Ken
nedy reminded the American peo
ple in a June Dairy Month mes
sage recently released. The Pres-
ident also said, “An estimated!
two million families are directly j
involved in the production, pro-,
cessing and distribution of milk
and products made from milk.
Dairy foods provide a very im
portant share of the well bal
anced diet of the American people.
We should be grateful as a nat
ion that this supply of highly
nourishing foods is available to
us."
We all can find facts of inter
est as we learn about dairying in
ancient times, and we can be in
spired and encouraged as we look
to the future of dairy enterprises
in South Carolina. Following Sir
Winston Churchill’s philosophy,
we should be able to plan and see
the somewhat distant future of
dairying more clearly because we
can look backward so far into
antiquity.
Sufficient evidence of various
kinds is now available indicating
that the domestication of the cow
and the use of her product goes
back to the earliest development
of the human race.
Prehistoric drawings, unearthed
in the Sahara Desert and dating
back 10,000 years or more, fea
ture picture-stories of cattle. A
mosaic frieze found in excava
tions of a temple near Babylon is
said to be about 8,000 years old.
The well preserved frieze clearly
shows carvings of milk contain
ers, strainers, and familiar milk
ing scenes. Calves are shown in
front of the cows, a practice sup
posed to induce the cows to let
down milk more freely. One of the
vessels is apparently being used
as a chum and another as a stor-
"I was worried
to death about
my hearing. I
had to ask folks
to repeat or talk
R>uder. My family started to leave
me out of their activities. Life be-
fame like a silent movie. I saw what
was going on, but I couldn’t hear it.
“I’d heard my favorite radio com
mentator talk about Beltone. So I
went to see the Beltone Hearing Aid
Consultant in town.
“His understanding won my con
fidence. He tested my hearing loss,
then fitted me with beautiful Beltone
Hearing Classes. They’re so be
coming, light, comfortable and give
me clear hearing in BOTH ears!
That visit changed my whole life.
Now my life is like a talking picture
with a happy ending.”

age vessel for milk or butter oil,
a common product of those an
cient days. The sculptured dairy
workers’ priestlike garb suggests
the association of the dairy with
the temple.
Mankind’s earliest known writ
ings, in now-extinct Sanskrit,
mention milk as one of the most
essential of all foods. The word
“milk” is derived from the San
skrit word “mrjat:” which was
used to deecribe the action of
milking an animal. The Sanskrit
writings tell about milk and its
food value, are at least 8,000
years old. Sanskrit, the ancient
| language of India, tells us as
far back as 2,000 B. C., in well-
preserved written form, about me
thods of raising dairy cattle and
how to evaluate them on the ba
sis of their milk producing abil
ities. As we look back to these
records of thousands of years
ago, we are given new hope con
cerning more complete acceptance
of the newer knowledge of our<
era of breeding, feeding and man
agement of dairy cattle with
greater emphasis on modern sys
tems of keeping essential re
cords.
Egyptian records dating back to
4,000 B. C. refer to the use of
cattle, and their methods of the
branding when the cows were put
on common pasture, indicating
that private ownership of cattle
was in vogue. The opening of
ancient Egyptian tombs has un
earthed numerous carvings pro-
traying cattle and dairy prac
tices. The earliest Egyptian re
cords indicate that milk, butter
and cheese were in common use.
The Greeks made reference to
herds of cattle 2,000 B. C., and
one writer said, “neither milk nor
cheese failed in Libya the year
round.” About 400 B. C. Hippo
crates, Greek physician and “Fa
ther of Medicine” prescribed but
ter as a salve for bums and for
wounds. Proof that the Greeks
were giving thought to the com
position of milk as early as 350
B. C. is found in Aristotle’s writ
ings when he said “Casein, fat,
and water are all the known sub
stances in milk.” Aristotle’s com
position of milk was a remarkably
good beginning but he missed
lactalbumen, lactose or milk su
gar, important minerals, vitamins
and other constituents.
Over 50 references to cows and
milk are found in the Old Testa
ment. The promised land was des
cribed as “A land flowing with
milk and honey.” There are fami
liar passages such as “and he
took butter and milk,” in Gene
sis; “He asked for water and she
gave him milk—” from Judges;
and “The words of hisrmouth were
smoother than butter—” said by
King David in Psalms. In the 1st
book of Samuel, Isaiah ordered
his son David to take ten cheeses
to the captain. This book also re-
i fers to the bringing of fermented
milk to King David.
According to the writings of
historians, the Tartars in 376 A.D.
tooH cattle with them on their
campaigns for milk and meat sup
ply. Historians also tell us that
the number of cattle owned by
a ruler was synonymous with his
power and influence. Cattle were
classed with slaves as the best in
dication of the wealth of a rul
er, as well as his political power.
History records that in Cae
sar’s time herds of cattle cover
ed a large part of Europe. During
his invasions, Caesar came upon
peoples in what is now the Nether
lands who had vast numbers of
cattle and were utilizing much of
their product for cheese. To the
Romans and the invasions of Cae
sar must go the credit for the
early dissemination of knowledge
concerning milk and its products.
This knowledge was carried to all
parts of Europe, and England.
Marco Polo in his travels over
portions of Asia, about the mid
dle of the 13th century, found
dairy products and cattle of many
kinds. He noted that many of the
people he visited owed much of
their strength and endurance to
milk.
From these early days to the
present the cow has continued to
be developed as man progressed,
and her importance as a source
of food has not been diminished
by the thousands of years which
have passed.
The history of dairying in Amer
rica is older than the history of
the United States as a nation.
The first dairy cows came to the
Jamestown settlement in 1611 and
helped bring an end to a terri
fying period of starvation.
As the pioneers moved to new
areas over the country, it was a
common sight to see nearly every
immigrant wagon accompanied by
two or three cows. The cows prov
ed to be the pioneer family’s
“food factory” on the move.
