II do not know" continued Major
Alvord, lust what effect this will have
on dairying and milk producing. do
not think it will result in any startling
advantages to the dairymen. as 1t is
probable that as good results can be
attained from feeding skim milk judi
ciously on the farm as through selling
it at the prices which will probably be
offered by the manufacturers Of this
product. 1t may be, however. that the
cost Of production Of the articles to be
manufactured will be 80 reduced and
their quality so excellent as to warrant
the payment Of a fair price for the
skimmilk. One class Of material which
can probably be made from this sub

in No manner affected by electrical
currents. The other skimmilk constit-

and used as sugar Of milk. and the al

in preparing the various albuminOus
food preparations now on the market"
