From the table above, we can see that there is a larger amount 
- of casein in the milk than there is casein and albumen in the 
4 cheese. If we assume that all the albumen goes into the whey and 
; none into the cheese, then the excess of casein found in the milk 
4 over that found in the cheese would represent the amount of 
casein lost in the whey in the process of cheese-making. On this

e. The proportion of milk-solids lost in the whey decreased 
from month to month as the season advanced while the propor- 
tion of milk-solids recovered in cheese increased. This was due 
to an increase of cheese-making solids (fat and casein) in the milk,

0.02 to 0.18 pounds, and averaged 0.07 pounds for 100 pounds of
