Curing Cheese In Boxes.

For three years have been experiment
ing in curing cheese in boxes, with salts
factory results. When taken from the
press the cheeses are laid on top OF the
boxes. till the surface moisture is we'll
dried off. and then, with scaleboards IN
der and over them, are laid into close
fitting and well-seasoned boxes and the
cover put on without cutting the top OF the
box down to the level OF the cheese. Inls
leaves little air space above the cheese
which is useful. In this addition the
boxes may be set on the curing-room floor
or piled one above another In almost
any place where there is favorable aver
age temperature. After standing ten
DAYS the boxes should be turned over to
prevent the moisture from settling to one
side of the cheese. Afterward they will
need turning over few times at intervals
of three or four weeks
Before going to market they should be
taken from the boxes, and the mold, If any
has formed on them, rubbed off and the
surface FURNISHED up. and then, with new
scaleboards, put back into the boxes,
which should then be cut down to lit the
cheese, and they are ready to ship. In
this condition | have kept cheese from six
to twenty-four months with very little
accumulation of mold on the outside; no
more than could be readily rubbed off, and
none at all on the inside. and without i'll
effects in any respect. The advantages of
this mode of curing are that there is 20
per cent less shrinkage and 30 per cent
less rind than when cured on shelves and
open to the air. 1t also protects the cheese
from the wide and sudden changes of tenn
perature in upper rooms and makes the
curing even and safe under conditions
that would otherwise do serious injury to
the cheese.
A badly made cheese will not become a
fancy article by being cured in box, but
it will be pretty sure to be better than if
cured where the temperature is constantly
running up and down to wide extremes.
1t also saves a vast amount OF labor in
daily turning, rubbing, and greasing to
keep the surface from drying and check
ing, and from danger of flies and sticking
to the shelves, and it almost overcomes
the imperfect construction of curing rooms.
Cheeses are much better off in good boxes
than on shelves in an open curing-room,
where they feel all the sudden changes of
the weather. White mold will accumu-
late on them more or less, but unless put
into green boxes there will be no more
than accumuates in crossing the ocean,
which is not enough to do them any harm.
