A GREAT HELP TO THE CHEESE IN
DUS1RN.

A hitherto unknown element in milk, Il
new Torment has been discovered at this
station, called galactose, which is proving
Il value in the riponing of cheese, says w.
5. ilarwood, in the June SCrbnors The
properties of this forment are similar
TO the secretion of the pancreatic organ
IN the human body. old cheese is a pre-
digested food, and the digestion is wrought
by the galactose. 1t was found that the
galactose would go on working at very low
temperatures, temperatures at which hac-
terra Were practically inert. Cheese was
put into refrigeratols and kept frozen for
months. Other cheese was kept tust above
the freezing point, 1t was found that the
finest cheese is cured AT from 40 to A. de-
Grees f. Practical cheese manufacturers
bad maintained that 30 degrees was the
lowest temperature at which cheese could
he worked without becoming bitter ana
worthless. The new discovery will 1t IS
believed, revoutioniZe cheese manufac-
ture, doing away with all curing-roo
the cheese being sent directly to the refri'
gerator.
