Use the paragraph to answer the question.
In spite of short rations she gave enough milk to
keep six men busy skimming the cream. If she had

Pine and Balsam that the men used it for cough

the table and made butter out of it. By using this
butter, to grease the logging roads when the snow
and ice thawed off, Paul was able to run big logging
sleds all summer.
