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.

—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

the Italian wool plant, for example,
milk is separated from the butter
fat, so butter is one of the by-
products of wool manufacture.

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

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.
