Chemists say that the casein powder, which is like a fine tasteless flour, may be substituted for milk in cooking, and has a great future in this respect. Chemistry applied to the stis^ar industry has been invaluable and, particularly in connection with the beet-suijar manufacture, has re- cently effected a wonderful savinj^. The waste in the making of beet sugar was at first enormous, be- cause the molasses was absolute 'waste. It contains products from the beet-roots which give it a very bitter taste, and is also rich in an alkali which spoils its flavour. So, although more than one-half of the weight of the molasses was sup-ar, it was unavailable save for fer- _ ^ Alston s Patent Steel Framed GALVANISED STOCK TROUGH Will not crack, leak, rot, or rust.
