CASEIN MANUFACTURE.

INTEREST BEING DISPLAYED IN MANAWATU. AN EXPERT’S OPINION. (Per Press Association.) Palmerston, February 8. The question of manufacturing casein is one that is being seriously considered by a number of local co-oper-ative dairy companies at the present time, and there is every prospect of definite action being taken in the near future. Yesterday a number of directors of dairy companies, from this and surrounding districts, paid a visit to Wangaehu ‘for the purpose of seeing how casein is manufactured, the intention being, as far as can be gathered, to start a co-operative factory in this- district. Should the proposal be given effect to, each factory will have its own separate plant, for extraction of casein, which will then be sent to a central factory. There is keen demand for first-grade casein, and if a '‘good article is turned out high prices may lie anticipated. An expert at present visitbig New Zealand states that large quantities arc already being manufactured in Sweden and Denmark, and that farmers there are delighted with the results obtained.
