Sailing Cheese.

A correspondent once more asks rs
In regard to sailing cheese. The proper
use of salt in butter and cheese is sub
ject of frequent inquiry. by beginners
especially. The taste of cheese is
greatly modified by the use of salt, and
as tastes of different people differ, it is
difficult to lay down any definite rule.
One thing seems TO be, pretty, well set
tied and that is, that sailing the curd
when it Is tolerably cool gives the best
flavor. The only objection that is urged
against this practice is that the salt cam
not be so evenly distributedin cool curd
as it can in warm, and that therefore its
preserving effects cannot be so great.
To this is replied, that in curing meat.
packers find it can be best preserved
by sailing when it has cooled of. In,
the Cheshire dairies the temperature of
the curd at the time of sailing is not al
lowed to 60 above eighty degrees Be-
sides injury to the flavor when salt is
applied to curd, that is too warm, it has
a tendency to harden il by surrounding
the portions with which it comes IN con-
tact with q coating of caseine. One
thing viii readily suggest itself; the
whey before the sailing begins, else it

pass of with the whey, and the result
together guess work, and the result Of
cheese is not sufficiently salted It viii
ripen before it ought to, and must be
eaten while young. Cheese with long
keeping qualities ripens slowly, which
depends upon being salted with precis-
o.
One purpose of sailing is to check the
acidity of the curd. Wheneverit it is de-
sired to check the further progress Of
acidity, proper sailing will do it. And
now as to the quantity to be used, as
before said. the rules to be laid down
can only be general. From two to
three pounds of salt for every one hum
dred pounds of cheese will be about
the quantity, which differs according to
the character of the cheese to be made
at different seasons. In spring two
pounds for every hundred pounds Of
cheese viii be about enough. as cheese
then made is apt to be wanted to ripen
quickly In hot weather three pounds
are often used, and not less than two
pounds and q half should be used. The
Cheddar cheese-makers use one pound
of salt for tifty-six pounds of curd! Usu-
ally in English manufactures the curds
are dryer than American curds are, and
consequently less amount of salt il
required. sas. 7.
The salt used must be the bess- A
great deal of cheese and butter are
spoiled by poor salt. Some salt cannot
be used for this purpose at all If So

nesium it win injure the flavor, The
market contains pure salt. which is ad-
vertised by responsible firms. Pure salt
Is determined by its dryness. Achalky

Of course it should be entirely free from
