She sank down in front of the fire, her eyes fixed on the blaze, her small hand loosely clasped in the lap of her tattered frock, and Neville got up, plaeed the box so that she could lean against it. and signed to Meth to give her some food, putting his finger on his lips to indicate that she was not to bother her with questions.

In our humble opinion the method of valuing goods according to the heat produced is far from satielactory. As anyone knows, the proteide or muscle formers no the moat expensive forms of foods. The 1,i's'ilr.iat..;.i.tri'lt1 in Great Britain has found IComedian cheese at eixpence 1 pound the very cheapest muscle-former he can buy. He may not know much about the ehem. istry of food, but he knows that cheese "keep. up his muscle" better than any other food, considering cost, hence he buys 1nd elta cheese in large quantities. If he could not get it It sixpence he would be willing to pny more, but none can Home him for getting It u cheaply the; an injustice. This is not written in a controversial spirit, nor with the ob- ject of "hitting" anyone. but with the hope that those responsible will see the justice of the foregoing, and not cater any further to the "fat" cry. The writer goes on to say: "One ani- mal may yield a milk containing 2.7 per cent. casein and 6 per cent. fat, while another produces a milk of 2.7 per cent. casein and 4 per cent. fat; and still an. other. a milk carrying 3.5 per _,"ire"tt and 6 per' cent. tat. INtresse in n- other way, we have milks where, for every lOO 'pounds int, there may be any- where from 40 to 73 pounds of casein. Surely it is clear that, for cheese pro- duction, a milk carrying for every 100 pounds of fat 73 pounds of casein, would ield more cheese than one containing {In 40 pounds of casein." One more glouthm: "Another matter of considers a importance in the dis. cussion of the relative amounts of casein and fat in cows' milk presents itself, and that is the relative commercial values of these two constituents. Both casein and fat are important foods, casein belong- ing to that generally more. expensive class of nutrients-the proteida, and popularly called the flesh-builders. Yet at prevailing prices at our creamery a pound of fat is worth 25 cents, while a pound of casein, as allowed for skim milk, at 30 cents a hundred. is worth 12 1'yht, " we allow the same value for ‘fat in cheese as it commands in butter, then the casein per pound in cheese is worth ls cents. On the theory that the feeding or nutritive value of.thele two constituents depends on the amount of heat they can produce, the fat could have about double the value of casein, but nutritive value and heat-producing capa. l city are not with certainty to be so closely eo-related." i With all of which we heartily agree, yet we find persons talking and writ- ing as if the value of milk for all pur- pose: depends um the fat contained. We trust that the management of our fairs will not concede an) more points to those who are continually clamoring for more value to be placed on milk fat. For butter production fat is undoubtedly the constituent of milk which determines its value, and for butter making, fat is all that We need consider. But the mak. ing of butter is a comparatively small industry in the Province of Ontario. The great bulk of the milk is used directly as a food, or is manufactured into cheese. All public teats, based on pro- duction, should take into consideration the fact that the bulk of the milk pro- dueed in Ontario is need for the manu- facture of cheese. To place too much importance on the fat alone is more or "Ou the basis of cost of production, It is a fair assumption that it has caul- ed the feeder as much to produce a pound of casein at: a pound of fat. The proteins to which casein belongs are nitrogen-containing bodies, and are the farmer's moat expensive nutrients. When the farmer sells casein he is selling nitro. gen; but when he sell) tat he aelll his cheapest source of nutrients, the air 1nd water. It appears that there iii-ome- thing irrational and unbalanced in the relative commercGl values of the” 'tWO produeU. From the farm point of View, the sale of casein represents n stone? agricultural drain than when the fat l sold, and from thin viewpoint alone it would appear that these two milk con- stituents should at lent have B closer commercinl value." "This clearly shows that for cheese production, the amounts. of eaaein Ind tat should be known to both producer- the man who owns the cow-and the man who buys the milk.
