ny on the 9th of March last, Mr.. Allen.
president of the society. presented a
sample of The "Sillon" cheese, made bv
Henry Parsons, Of Guelph, Canada. Il
was considered By the committee a very
superior article, and we extract from the
report of the proceedings of the meeting.
the following accoun, Of this kind Of
cheese, for the beneti, of our readers:
"rhls variety Of cheese, provelbial for
its richness, was first made near Melton.
IN Leicester.hIe, England. by relation
TO the landlord Of the old Bell Inn. at
HihOn. which gave the name, and its
reputation was such tina, it for long time
sold for half crown a pound. The fol-
lowing account Of It's manufacture is
from British ilusbandry 1T is made
by putting the nights cream without any
portion of the skinned milk, to the
milk Of the following morning; but
those who wish TO make it very fine, add
still greater quantity of cream, and of
course the richness Of The cheese depends
upon the amount which is used. But.
ter is also said TO be sometimes mixed
with it. The rennet is then added with.
out any coloring and when the curd has
come, it is taken out without, being bro.
ken, and put whole into sieve or drain.
er, where ii is pressed with weights un.
til completely cleared of whey when
dry, it is put, with clean cloth, into
hooped chessaIt (or mould. and placed
under the press, firm to be removed from
this mould, the cheese is placed upon
dry board, and tightly bound in a cloth,
whIchis changed daily, in order to avoid
all cracks in the skin until this is found to
be ,olcrabIy well cTusled; after which i,
is no longer used aud the cheese re-
quires no further care than frequently
turned upside down, and occasionally
brushed"
