"I bave bad a certain amount of experienco, baving represented a Scottisb county for 14 years, and I assert tbat tbere is no malnutrition to speak of among farm sorvants, in tbat part of tbe world, at any rate. Tbey bave bred a magnificent population for generations past, and if tbere is malnutrition coming it will be because tbey bave abandoned to some extent tbe good, plain, wbolesome, cbeap food tbat they themselves produce. Tbere wero tbe barrel of berringa and tbe sack of oatmeal and tbe bowl of milk wbicb tbey used to get on cvery farm, enougb to keep ovorvbody, and motai of tlie.se wero supplied free. I bave averaged i'our berriug a day for years. Tbe result is i'or all to 666. "
