Great Waste of Good Food. 
Meats and almost all other foods are 25 to 50 per 
cent, above average prices. There is one source of 
valuable nutriment that is largely overlooked. On 
the average the skimmed milk that has supplied 
cream for five pounds of butter contains fully four 
pounds of casein, which is the chief constituent of 
cheese. Skim milk cheese is almost pure casein. 
This casein is very similar to lean beef in its com¬ 
position, and when eaten serves the same purpose 
as lean beef in nourishing and strengthening the 
muscles and other parts of the body. In some 
dairy establishments the skimmed milk is used for 
making cheese which is sold at a somewhat lower 
price than the whole milk cheese. Such cheese is 
one of the best sources of nutriment for the great 
mass of people engaged in hard labor. But taking 
the country together, in butter dairies and in fam¬ 
ilies making butter, the skimmed milk is mainly* 
fed to swine if not thrown away. It is too valu¬ 
able for this. We invite special attention to what 
Mr. Willard says of Cottage Cheese on another 
page of this number. A little study of the subject 
and a little practice, will enable any butter maker 
to obtain for each five pounds of butter, four 
pounds of a most nutritious article of food, one 
that is easily digested and which is very palatable 
when properly prepared. Mr. Willard gives general 
directions. A great point is to avoid letting the 
soured milk become bitter by long standing, or by 
remaining in wood or metal vessels that will affect 
its flavor; or by exposing it to foul air or odors. 
Any butter maker can soon secure a regular pay¬ 
ing market for Cottage or curd Cheese, by offering 
a few samples of good quality in neighboring vil¬ 
lages or cities. It will be a boon to multitudes of 
families to have such an article brought to their 
notice, and afterwards regularly supplied to them. 
It is safe to say that the actual addition to the food 
supplies of the country may be increased by mil¬ 
lions of dollars every year, if we get into the way 
of using the casein of skimmed milk that is now 
treated as of comparatively small account. 
A Pound of Money.— Of United States Gold 
Dollars (25.8 grains) about 271‘/a weigh one pound 
avoirdupois. Of Silver Coins, the new Silver Dollar 
(“ Buzzards ”)—412 1 /,, grains—17 weigh almost exactly 
one pound. Of the “ Trade Dollars ”—420 grains—about 
16 3 / 5 weigh one pound. The “ halves,” “ quarters,” and 
“ dimes,” are proportionately lighter, and require $18.14$ 
of them to make a pound avoirdupois.—Of “Nickels,” 
the 5-cent pieces weigh 77.10 grains, or about 90 to the 
pound. The “nickel” 3-cent pieces weigh 3.0 grains, 
or 233 to the pound. The small copper cents weigh 48 
grains, or about 146 to the pound, or about 9 to the ounce.
