The popular opinion that " colostrum " or " biestings " 

 is unwholesome is quite an erroneous one. Excellent " biest- 

 ings " cheeses have been for long and are still made in some 

 of our rural districts, the simple heating of this milk being 

 sufficient to coagulate it into a cheesy condition. These 

 cheeses will keep for a short time only. These, as well as 

 various puddings and cheese-cakes prepared from this milk, 

 are nutritious and palatable. It should not be so used, how- 

 ever, if the milk is at all tinged with blood.
