to produce uniform grades OF cheese
othcrWiSr On some farms the cheese

hc impossible to say that the different
grades were made by the same man.
This is not due so much to the differ

process OF making and curing. Some
cheese should he cured much faster
Than others. and again The reverse is
the case. Unless one understands the
reasons for this il is impossible TO
produce like results. Every cheese
maker has found that in spite of his
brSi rffortS the cheese Of one DAYS
