Only within the past few years has an adequate value been plnced upon skimmilk. yet il is well known fact of chemistry that Il contains virtually all of the easein protein, of the whole milk. the butter fat removed in the cream being carbon and water. Practi- cally all of the food ynlue of skim milk may be removed in the shape Of cottage cheese. also known as .sehmierkase. The following recipe for mnking this appetizing food is rec ommeudea by the Nebraska experi- ment station Allow the skImmilk to become sour aud curdled. then heat 10 10 or fo0 degrees r. In about thirty minutes After Il has reached the de Tired temperature remove the vessel from the stove and allow eurd to re- main in hot whey for about fifteen minutes Then remove whey by pour ing the clabher Into eheesecioth bag or through fine wire screen with eheesecloih spread over il and allow to drain until no more whey appears. The texture hardness or softness of the curd d-depends upon the tempera, ture to which the milk Is heated and the time the curd is allowed to remain in the hot whey The greater the heat and the longer It's duration the harder the cheese win be. Adding to the eurd about one tenth It's volume of rich cream greatly improves the flavor of the cheese. together with sufficient salt to season
