repiaced by from two TO three pounds or
neutral oil 10 each one hundred pounds or
milk This oil is made from the leaf lard
OF the hog. The only point which the ad-
vocates or this measure attempt TO make
regarding the whoIeSomeness of this prod
uct is that on account of the low tempera-
ture at which this lard is rendered 1T Il. IN
digestlble. In the introduction OF this neu-
tral into the skinned milk, every atom or
il is exposed TO Jet OF steam taken from
a boiler under at least seventy pounds pres
sure. II is brought to a pressure far above
the point of sterilization This fact abso-
luteIy destroys their argument. After the
introduction OF the neutral into the skim
med milk the process OF cheeSe-ma king dlI-
fers in no way from that OF making foil
cream cheese and the cheese resulting,
assert, -ains all the elements or nutTl-
tion. and in as large percentages, as full
cream cheese, and II is as Wholesome IN
every respect
In attacking the honesty of the manufac-
turers of HIled cheese the friends or the
measure no W be fore the Senate have aroused
a storm OF Indignation. Mr. Morrill, states
that the Finance Committee bad received
a number OF tclegTamS and letters from
various sections OF The country claiming
that filled cheese was wholesome article
of food and ought not TO be obliterated by
this bill. The charge that the dishonesty
ofmanufactur had killed the cheese trade
with foreign countries was entirely dis
proved by Mr H. W. Heushaw. an exporter
of Chicago. He denied most Gnphaticaly
that filled cheese was shipped 10 England
as fuil-cream cheese. He explained the
falling off in exports by the fact that since
1879 Australia aud Canada had increased
their cheese exports to such au extent as
to cut down the exports from this country.
He was just back from trip 10 England
aud asserted that there is net man In all
England, who is handling cheese, from the
importer 10 the CCSteTmongcr OF East Lon
don, who cannot at once tell if the cheese
is full cream cr not. He found that factories
in Holland and Scotland were utilizing
their skinned milk by making il into filled
cheese with great benefit not only TO the
dairy interests of these countries, but the
labOring classes Of the people
Mr. Henshaw claimed that the pasSa ge
OF this bill would be in the interests of the
speculator on both sides OF the Atlantic,
whose aim it is TO buy up the summer
made cheeses atlOw prices, put them in cold
storage, and late in the season take them out
and reap a handsome profit. He asks why
large portion of American dairymen
should be dehaTred by act OF Congress
from putting TO use their pure skinned milk
IN the shape of Il cheap. but palatable and
wholesome, food, for the bcuefit of the
speculator in cheese.
WHO MAKES THE FIGHT.
The testimony before the two committees
brought out clearly the fact that the fight
against filled cheese is entirely in the
interests of the skim-milk cheeSemen- It
was proven clearly that the filled cheese
was the superior OF the skim milk article.
This could scarcely be otherwise when II is
remembered what process is used in the
making of this kind of cheese. IL is the
cheese of the old time, before the advent
of the Sepa ration. Then the milk was taken
to the Creameries, held anywhere from
twenty-fOur to thirty-SiX hours and then
skinned. Naturally it was not in the
best condition for cheese making, being
old, sometimes very sour, and more often
tainted. The cheese made from such milk
had an ill-flavor and the keeping qualities
were of the poorest.
1t was q question then as now how to
best utilize this sometimes tainted milk
Only few weeks ago, February 3, 1896,
| the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association
discussed the best methods of handling this
tainted milk.
Prof. Henry of the college at Madison,
Wis, who has spent many weeks here
working in the interests of the filled cheese
bill, has charge of this special work at his
college. He is professor of agriculture
there, and it is said makes il his principal
business to teach pupils how to use tainted
milk for the purpose of cheese making.
1t is such an article as this that filled
cheese is pushing out of the market, and il
| is these people who have had sufficient in
fIuence to get the present measure through
the House.
With these arguments the fiiled-cheese
| manufacturer appeals to Congress. He
shows that he has a superior article. 1t Is
cleaner and more wholesome. He has
shown how even tainted milk is made into
