The scheme was at first intended lor only main factory supplies, but some of the cicamery supplies are now bringing their milk to tin main factory so as to participate in ilic casein benefits. Mr. Klecman, the manager, informed the News representative in Stratford yesterday thai'. the whey is evidently thought snmr--Ihi nit of. for there is the same trouble about its proper distribution as is flipc a-'e with skim milk. Farmers report ti.at whilst the calves did not relish the new substitute for "skim-dick" at first, (hey soon took kindly to it. Some bonebuilding substance is added to the whev iu order to compensate for the food products taken from it. The casein business seems likely to grow.

The clerk remarked: j "It's good business to advertise in the J News." i
