Big City Apartment Dwellers SeeTypical Farm From Windows of Their High Rise Buildings Cows Milked Three Times Daily In Chicago Zoo Barn Chicago residents of fash ionable hotels and high-rise apartments adjacent to Lin coln Park Zoo, on the shores of Lake Michigan, can see a typical midwest farm right outside their windows. Dairy cows are featured at tractions of the Farm-in-the- Zoo. Three times a day, in the big red Dairy Barn, at ten, twelve and two o’clock, six cows are milked by automatic machines in the spotless milk ing parlor. Over four million people are expected to visit the dairy ex hibition during 1966. Future exhibits .will show how farm animals and produce play a role in the manufacture of no-farm products. Milk, for instance, plays a part in the production of paint, combs and other items. “You would be amazed at the number of children who come here who have never been close to a cow or any other domestic farm animal,” a Zoo spokesman said. Actually, at the farm, the children can get almost — but not quite — within touching distance of all the animals. They can v/atch calves who bawl like babies, and, of course, the fascinating milking proc ess. Dr. Lester E. Fisher, zoo di rector, has delivered several calves in the Dairy Barn and spent a few cold nights help ing to deliver piglets and ewes. Cow Is Queen Of AnimalKingdom; 24-Hour Factory Is a cow hamburgers on the hoof, a milk bottle with a tail, or a set of luggage with hair? According to the January issue of Southern Dairy Prod ucts Journal, many city dwell ers have seen COWards, COW- hide luggage, possibly even a COWboy, but how many have ever seen a live cow. A cow is really the queen of the animal kingdom. Her walk is graceful, her eyes full of compassion and she has a tem perament fitting her position She is the 24-hour factorj that produces the most nearly perfect food for man. Her product has been pasteurized homogenized, dehydrated churned, clabbered and steri lized. It is the sole food of babies the growing food of children the health food of adults and the comfort food of the aged. True Color Of Cows’ Eyes May Be Surprise “I Dream of Bossy with the Light Brown or Blue or Black Eyes.” In spite of the notion that cows have brown eyes, the Ex tension Service at VPI, Vir ginia Polytechnic Institute, started checking. They found that the eyes of most of the cow's they gazed into were dark blue, approach ing black. Some of the others were brown — many approaching reddish-brown.

Now, If You Want to Know What is a Cow, Hear This “The cow is a mammal. It has six sides — right, left an upper and below. At th< back it has a tail on which hangs a brush. With this it sends the flies away so that they do not fall into the milk. The head is for the purpose of growing horns and so that the mouth can be somewhere. The horns are to butt with, and the mouth is to moo with. “Under the cow hangs the milk. It is arranged for milk ing. When milk comes, the milk comes, and there is never an end to the supply. How the cow does it, I have not yet realized, but it makes more and more. The cow has a fine sense of smell; one can smell it far away. This is the reason for the fresh air in the country. “The man cow is called an ox. It is not a mammal. The cow does not eat much, but what it eats, it eats twice, so that it gets enough. When it is hungry it moos, and when it says nothing it is because its insides is all full up with grass.” The above essay was writ ten by a 10-year-old English boy. It appears in a book written by Sir Ernest Gow ers to help government offi cials write in a more under standable language. Quality Assured The sanitary quality of our milk supply is guaranteed by a program of protection in which Federal, State, and local agencies, and the dairy indus try participate. Most Ameri can communities require the nasteurization of fluid milk oducts. The Cow The cow is of the bovine ilk: One end is moo, the other milk. — Ogden Nash Obviously, from the picture above, Japanese school children who now learn good diet from their school lunch programs enjoy milk and get plenty of it. The Japanese import nonfat dry milk from the U.S. to supplement local supplies, because their own supplies of milk are inadequate. The Red and White Cow The friendly cow all red and white, I love with all my heart. She gives me milk with all her might And cream for apple tart. She wanders lowing here and there, And yet she will not stray. All in the pleasant open air, In the pleasant light of day. And blown by all the winds that pass, And wet by all the showers. She walks among the meadow grass And eats the meadow flowers. — Robert Louis Stevenson Power for the Home & Dairy Farm WE SALUTE THE DAIRY F ... and Live Better Electrical From Lighting to Milk Handling- ELECTRIC POWER IS ON THE JOB— —working for the Dairy Fanner.
