1 The manufacture of the so-called nut margarines has increased greatly during the past few years. The 
makers of this product used a large amount of dried milk, and in some cases they have reported the weight 
of the dried milk instead of its equivalent in whole milk. It must also be remembered that when ready 
for the market oleomargarine contains from 14 to 16 per cent of water, introduced as such or with the 
milk and salt which are among the ingredients of this product. 
This in part accounts for the discrepancy 
between the amount of oleomargarine reported and the amount of ingredients entering into its com- 
position.
