No Need For Cows Now.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 12, 1912:
Artificial Milk German Chemists Make Found Palatable by Scientists.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    LONDON, Oct. 11.— Synthetic milk is the latest product of the chemical laboratory. Several eminent scientists, including Sir William Crookes, examined and tasted cowless mi1k at a demonstration here this afternoon and pronounced it palatable.
    The fluid, which is the discovery of three German chemists, is made at Frankfort-on-the-Main. It is the same color as the animal liquid, and the inventors claim that it is more nourishing and more easily assimilated than the cow's product, and non-tuberculous. The method of manufacture is kept secret, but it is composed entirely of vegetable ingredients, digested by machinery instead of by the cow, and is said to keep sweet far longer than ordinary milk. Its strength, it is said, can be standardized for the family, infant, or invalid.
    It is proposed to build a factory in London to make and sell the family variety at 6 cents a quart.
