WHEY BUTTER

A whey butter factory is, according t" the “Live Stock Journal,” the l atest development of dairying in the Lnited States. The factory itself has been erected at St. Lawrence, New York, and during the past,season has been receiving . the separated whey cream from twenty-five other cheese factories. The experience gained is that about 41b of whey butter can be made from every 10001 b of whey, and that this utilisation of the whey solves; the problem of the loss of fat in cheesemaking. Where the butter has been put on the market its fine flavour has made it very popular, so that it obtains the same price as the finest creamery butter. As a result of sel r ling the separated whey cream the cheese factories havd been able to make rather more than a penny more for every 1001 bof milk; while the separated whey is said to lose none of its value for pig feeding.
