Excerpt from Dairy Cattle and Milk Production: Prepared for the Use of Agricultural College Students and Dairy Farmers Milk, with its products, serves as one of the most important sources of food for all highly civilized nations. A large proportion of the best agricultural lands of the world are utilized for its production. Although milk and products of milk have been used to some extent for food as far back as history records, the general use of milk as food has come about only with the development of highly civilized nations. Martiny 1 points out that the native races of America, Africa, and Australia, which have never developed past the stage of barbarism, do not use milk as food. The primitive races of Western Asia and of Europe made use of milk, as have their descendants, and according to this author, to this fact is due in no small degree the great intellectual develop ment of Europe and America.
