Cows of History. Extraordinarily beautiful and picturesque are the long-horned, snow white cows of the Tuscan valleys in Italy. Their horns measure about twenty inches across and their silky tails often sweep the ground. Since the war they are becoming very scarce owing to lack of fodder, and land holders are haunted by mythological tales of the Middle Ages when they disappeared altogether. Invaders from the North brought this breed of cattle into Italy and they were so admired by the early Romans that they each year offered up the whitest and most beautiful one as a sacrifice, gilding its horns and garlanding them with rare flowers. The Italian government presented this pair to the Agricultural Colony of the Junior Red Cross of America orphanage and vocational school where several hundred war orphans are learning scientific farming and undergoing training for their future independence

Studying why fruits taste that way. E.K. Nelson of the Department of Agriculture is shown making tests with an apparatus which the Department imported from Germany for the purpose of studying the essential oils or "flavor-giving" content of fruits and vegetables. At present chemists are acquainted with the essential oils of only a few fruits, such as some of the citrus group. The apparatus is a vacuum distill which permits the distillation of liquids at temperatures much lower than usual by reducing the pressure, 1/10/31
