Value of Skinned Milk.

Recent Investigations by the German
chemists, Ritthausen and j. KONG,
have led to important conclusions.
They are to the effect that the nutritive
value of skinned milk is much higher
than is generally supposed. Accord
ing to these, the price paid for the albu-
minoids in skinned milk is lower than
that paid for them in any of the ordi-
nary foods in the market, excepting
stock-fsh. The former chemist states
that about two quarts of this milk con-
tain as much nitrogenous matter as q
pound Of meat, and the latter that
given number of nutritive units of the
milk cost about "a per cent. less than
pork and still less than butter.
While further experiments may some
what modify these conclusions, they are
sufficiently accurate to show that the
popular prejudice against skinned
milk is unfounded, provided the article
is unadulterated. It is known that the
proportion of fatty matter in unskimmed
milk is not more than per cent, and
while this ingredient may be very neces-
sary to make the milk suitable for the
use Oh Cu1lOT0u 6uu Hu01lC Ec10OuSe
there are large classes of milk consum-
ers who can do as well or better with
out 1t. The great difficulty with
skinned milk is that of getting it pure
and undiluted. But the same may b
said of unskimmed milk.
If, however, the city authorities took
proper precautions to prevent the sale
of both when diluted and adulterated,
the cheaper article might be safely en-
ployed on large scale for purposes for
which the unskimmed article Is now
used. We're this done, and creamless
milk more generally used, very con-
siderable economy could be effected BY
consumers, the amount of cream left
for the creameries would be so much
increased that we might hope for
cheaper butter, and. with the reduced
demand in cities for unskimmed milk
the public would not have to pay 10
cents q quart for it.-Ncac York
