Casein made with the acid process is the most commonly used, and from it is made glae, and oil for painting called casein paint. It is also largely used in the manufacture of the finest writing paper, also for sizing for textile fabrics, for art leather and insulation. We may add that the general use of casein for manufacturing purposes has in- creased loo per cent, during the last five years. — Value of the New to the Dominion. — It is stated upon good authority that prices for casein on the Con- tinental markets range from £40 to ^45 per ton, and on that basis would return to shareholders of a butter factory an additional 2d. or 2Xd. per Itj.' of butter fat, after deducting expenses incurred in the making of , casein, and as the Dominion export of butter per an- num exceeds an average of 15,000 tons, the extra ])ayment of, say, 2d. per lb. fat would mean the distribution of an additional £'280,000 per annum amongst the dairy farmers.
