One Thousand And One Useful Recipes And Valuable Hints About Cooking And Housekeeping
Author: Various

TO THE Fathers and Mothers of San Francisco WHO LOVE THEIR CHILDREN, THIS BOOK IS RESPECTFULTAU DEDICATED. As Co7npiled frollz Data of Record by the nders v Nothing was further from Mr. Eiwells thoughts than going illto the milk business when, many years ago, lie loatied a relative and friend some money to engage in the business. Their subseque... more »nt failure forced him to take the business to secure himself. Becoming interested after a little experience, Mr. Ewell soon found out, what few people knew, viz. That but a small proportion of the milk sold in this city is absolutely pure, and the idea occurred to him that a large and profitable business might be built up by furnishing such an article. Not knowing the meaning of the word fail, he commenced experimenting. Starting with the idea that young, healthy cows, with plenty of good, wholesome food, fresh air, pure water, . good pasture and proper treatment, tvould produce the best milk, and having all these requisites to start with, at his 800-acre ranch, seven miles from the city, on the San Bruno road, Mr. Ewell for years experimented with all kinds of feed for be it known that good pasture alone does not produce the richest milk, as most every one thinks, both ground and dry, his experience teaching him finally that cooked fdod gave better results than dry, and that corn, wheat, Egyptian corn, bran, peas, beans, broomcorn seed arid middlings, in their seasons, in various combinations, cooked to the consistency of mush, with plenty of squash when in season, cut fine and fed green, giving a cow all she can eat twice a day, with plenty of good Bur clover hay for a change, is the best. This liberal feeding, with good pasture, has enabled Mr. Ewell to produce a milk richer and superior to the productiotl of any other dairy, as the analysis of two of the most prominent analytical chemists of this city which will be given hereafter will sufficiently demonstrate, their samples being taken at their own volition, at widely different dates. Having satisfied hihself as to the quality of his milk, Mr. Ewell took fo his - motto The Purest a7zd Best L the World, - And then turned his attention to its delivery to consumers, and the best means of getting it to then1 as pure and fresh as when it leaves the cow, for it must be admitted that the old system of delivering milk has disadvantages that should have condemned it long ago, for its lack of cleanliness arid its opportunities for contamination, and Mr. Ewell firmly believes that, with all his care and trouble, and efforts to produce the best of milk, his business would have been a failure had he adhered to the old system of delivery. BottZi7zg ziZk warnz fronz the cow is an original idea of Itfr. Ewell, and to its adoption, two years ago, Mr. Ewell attributes the wonderful success of his business, it having increased from 500 quart-customers a day, to over 4500, and there seems to be hardly any limit to its possible extension, so popular is it with all who have tried it, together with the exceeding richness of the milk. AN INCORPORATED COMPANY. About the time of introducing this system of delivering milk, Mr. Ewell, in order to get the most faithful and devoted service from his large number of employes, incorporated his business, letting all of them, who desired, have stock, at a mere nominal rate, at which price he will either buy or sell to them, at any time, thus encouraging his men to save their wages, and at the same time make one per cent. per month on their savings. Thissystem has worked so well that most all of his employes are now intere sted in the business. The company is known as the Ewells X. L. Dairy Bottled Milk Gompany, and while paying one per cent...
