Taken by itself skim milk is rather thin, but when taken with bread or used in cooking it forms a very nutritious addition to the diet. Skim milk has nearly all the protein of the whole milk and is one of the richest sources of lime and phosphorous. Some children refuse to take milk in its natural form. The wise mother covers the taste by serving it as milk toast, custard, creamed vegetables, soups, junket and other simple desserts with milk as a basis.<\/p>\n<p>Skim milk may be used in any recipe calling for whole milk. With the addition of butter, to replace the cream removed, the composition approaches whole milk.<\/p>\n<p>Sour milk in cooked foods is especially good. Hot breads made with sour milk have an extra delicacy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TIMBER CONSUMED JUST TWICE AS FAST AS GROWN<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The growth of saw timber in the United States is believed to be only third of the amount annually cut. Twenty-nine of our states import more timber than is cut within their boundaries, and every exporting state is cutting faster than their timber grows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA timber famine is bound to come,\u201d says W.J. Morrill of the Colorado Agricultural College (now Colorado State University). \u201cIndeed locally in many parts of the United States is has arrived already as reflected in the high prices of lumber. Mature trees should be cut, but provisions should be made at the time of cutting to insure recurring crops of trees, not only more crops but the greatest possible crops or the utilization of timberlands to their full capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Colorado offers the services of its State Forester who is at the Agricultural College at Fort Collins, at cost of expenses to advise timberland owners concerning the management of timberlands with a view of perpetuating timber crops.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p402_hide\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<div class=\"caption-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/TWIH-SDN-121519.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-375997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/TWIH-SDN-121519.jpg 522w, https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/TWIH-SDN-121519-300x193.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 522px) 100vw, 522px\"><figcaption>TWIH-SDN-121519<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>PITHY NEWS NOTES FROM ALL PARTS OF COLORADO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Three persons were frozen to death, a third killed in an accident, and a fourth is reported dying as the result of exposure suffered during the unusually violent April storm which swept across Colorado recently.<\/p>\n<p>Five prominent Longmont businessmen and bankers have purchased the controlling interest in the Empson Canning Goods Company from J.
