E How should the cheese factory pay; for milk?- [`he most. valuable parts of milk for cheese are fat and nitro- gen compounds, including casin and= albumen. Casein only is cougulated by rennet. Most. of the albumen passes into the whey. ` Repeated; tests prove that as the prc-eictioiil of fat increases the quantity of! cheese increases, until a limit of four`; per cent. of fat in the milk is reach- ed, when a portion of it begins tovbe lost, and the yield of cheese suffers; The yield of cheese is greatest,` when; the amount, of casein equals or ex-] ceeds the amount of fat The more` fat "the less casein is the ruxe. In, commonlfactory milk. the fat .the.
