Relation of Fat and Casein.

Milk rich in fat is also rich in casein. This fact is not accepted by every one, but as a rule careful tests prove that it is true. Consequently buying milk at a cheese factory by the Babcock test is a fair method. Even if one lot of milk rich in fat does not contain quite so much casein as another lot with the same percentage 01 fat, the value 01 cheese is about the same, as the milk deficient in casein is that much richer in fat. If some method were knowh Of readily determining the amount of casein, it would be advisable to buy milk at a cheese factory on the basis of both the amount of casein and fat it contains.
