Mr. A. S. Treadwell concludes
that the souring of milk is but

will be found sufficiently long.

" When subjected to a tempera-
tnro decidedly higher than Is
necessary for cooking. It shows no
tendency to become rancid discol-
ored cr decomposed; nor does It
cvolvo unplcasnnt odors when so
heated as Is the case with many
other cooking oils and fats with
which I have compared it; and
further it can bo used repeatedly
without disadvantage.
Its flavor odor and color are very
satisfactory and these are retained
after subjection to a high cooking
beat.
Practical trials made with it
prove that It Is a -very superior
article for frying fish potatoes
kidneys etc. and for similar cook-
ing purposes; foods cooked in it
retaining all their own natural
flavor uncontamlnated with any-
thing objectionable from the cook-
ing medium and there appears to
be nothing in It or developed by its
use that can in any way provo
objectionable to the most delicato
stomach.
It may also be used with advant-
age as n substitute for butter and
other fats in making pastry and
as compared with the welent of
bntteremployedln maklngslmllor
cakes the quantity cf it used is
very much less."
