So cottage cheese is a good meat substitute and a practical way of using part of the skim milk when the cream is taken off for butter.

One and one-half ounces of cottage cheese (one-fourth cup) are the protein equivalent of two ounces of lean beef.
Skim milk and buttermilk are just as good substitutes for meat as whole milk.

Since meat is one of the most expensive items in the food bill, its replacement by milk is a very great financial economy.

This is true even if the meat is raised on the farm, as food for cattle is used much more economically in the production of milk than of beef.
_Milk is the greatest source of calcium (lime)._ Lime is one of the components of food that serves two purposes; it is both building material for bones and regulating material for the body as a whole, helping in several important ways to maintain good health.

It is essential that everyone have a supply of lime and particularly important that all growing infants, children, and young people have plenty for construction of bones and teeth.
