you’ll probably touch casein. magazine. Amazing casein really an amazing thing. To the milk which men have few years ago applications for it; their complishments to date make an amazing story. If you look up casein in the dictionary it will probably tell you it's an organic com- pound allied to albumin, found in milks of all kinds. The pro- portion is 3 per cent and it sep- arates from the milk as curd, which is usually used for making cheese. made from skimmed milk, well pressed, is nearly pure coagulated casein. It’s hard to believe that man can make cheese and foun- tain pen barrels out of the same product. But that’s only part of the story. Imagine making wool cloth out of it, too!!! This latest conquest in the com- mercial application of casein hails from Italy, where the production of artificial wool from cow's milk has gone far beyond the experimental stage; so far, in fact, that the great Snia Viscosa rayon plant at Milan is building a huge addition to its factory for the production of new artificial fabric on a commer- cial scale. Man Copies Nature. —and a very fine grade of wool, at that—can be made from milk. we have only to reflect that the new- nance entirely upon its mother ewe, is constantly producing er's milk. So this process have only been attempt- ing to simulate a process which na- ture has been carrying on for mil- lions of years. They've found that cow’s milk, goat's milk, sheep's milk, and no doubt other milks, are satisfactory for making wool rics. fected to such an extent that the fin- ished product gives a result very close to the actual natural wool, chemically and to the touch. This development is remarkably interesting, but it need not cause American sheep raisers to quake in their boots. Although science has found a way to speed up the wool growing process, the method will always be complicated. Yet its suc- cess may equal that of rayon, an artificial fabric which has assumed an important position during the past 10 years. The new wool cloth made from milk casein comes in all colors and patterns, in different weights, and is much less expensive than ordi- nary wool. It has an advantage over natural wool in that it does not shrink and for this reason Italy is making it into soldier's uniforms, underwear and hosiery. Fashion models in Italy show the very latest styles in this new cloth. To see a shop window filled with models clad in gay outing sweaters and sport suits, all made from cow's milk, is to be convinced one’s own convictions that such a thing is possible: Good to the Last Drop. The modern dairyman wastes very little from each gallon of milk his farmers deliver to the door. At the Italian wool plant, for example, milk is separated from the butter fat, so butter is one of the by- products of wool manufacture. as valueless. began seeking in artificial wool, with little waste. American milk is not used so thor- oughly, yet few nations can boast higher milk production than the United States. Thus the possibili- ties for American adoption of the artificial wool process are tremen- dous. Recent department of agri- culture figures show that milk sur- pluses this year hit a new June 1 high, causing dairy prices to drop to the lowest level in four years. Resulted From Necessity. The discovery of milk wool is only two years old. Inventions which had not passed beyond the laboratory had been made before that but the object had been to artificially a product re- placing silk, the most highly con- sidered fabric of animal origin. Ex- time, artificial silk is best produced of cellulose, a material of plant origin. The process itself takes place in ery. Milk is weighed and passed through a heater into a skimming machine. Here the cream is sepa- rated from the milk and by means of a sterilizing and refrigerating ap- paratus is immersed in an acidifica- mixing churn and moulded into pats of butter. The skimmed milk then passes treated by special chemical prod- ucts so that there is a coagulation of the casein which is found in sus- pension in the milk. The casein thus collected is sent into the press filter The masses of casein are sent to the curdling boiler to be washed. The product is then dried and A few days ago the above frock looked very much like 63 quarts of cow's milk; in fact, it was just that. Today it's a complete knitted wool dress in plain brown color. Very chic, what? ground. In the mixer the casein undergoes a dissolving process with chemical reagents and is sent on to the maturing and filtering tanks. Through the spinning machine the casein now takes on the consistency of filaments which are first cut, then washed, then dried. The raw material is then finished and ready for that first transformation which is common to all fibers. ® Western Newspaper Union.
