The amount of cheap cheese made
and put on the market should not be
Judged by the skim and part skim milk
cheeses These latter are made for a
distinct purpose, and there is wide
market for them, says Z. S. Warren
ton in American Cultiyator. Cheese
makers use skim and part skim milk
with full knowledge that the results
will be of certain inferior character,
and the cheese is so marked when sent
to market. The makers are satisfied
if they get few cents pound.
But inferior cheese made from full
cream milk and spoiled in the curing,
keeping or some other way is direct
loss to the maker. The trouble is some
thing that should be averted by follow
ing carefully rules that have been dis
covered through years of study and ex-
pertinent. There are of course many
reasons why cheese does not come out
satisfactory when good full cream milk
is used. Off flavor of cheese of this
character is frequently due to lack Of
acid in the cheese or to hot curing
rooms. In the trade such cheese has
such strong odor after being kept a
short time that it is marked down
heavily. The remedy is to see that the
temperature of the curing rooms is bet.
ter regulated and in preventing acidity.
This latter is generally due to hastiness
in making. When the cheese is made
every other day, too much starter is
used, and the attempt to hurry the
work causes the trouble.

What payss

The cows on many farms would be
considered first class producers if each
cows product amounted to 200 pounds
OF butter per year, vet it is claimed by
some of the best dairymen that 200
pounds of butter per year from a COW
does not pay. Those who aim to make
the most butter from their herds have
the standard up to 300 pounds per year,
and some fix the limit higher. Every
farmer can have the individual men,
bers of his herd reach that amount by
breeding for better cows every year.
