The Cool Curing Idea.

The cool curing Of cheese has been
a matter that has engrossed the at
tention Of our dairy experts for the
last two and three years. The suc-
cesses obtained 10 the experiments
conducted in Canada and America viii
surely exert a powerful inhuence on
the industry everywhere In the world.
We note that the largest cheese fac
tory in New Zealand and perhaps in
the world has adopted this process
which is apparently far superior to
every other method. In the first
place II makes the control OF the con
ditions easy and obviates the necessity
OF building expensive curing rooms
where the temperature can be kept
at between sixty and seventy degrees
the whole season through. In cool
storing Il is merely necessary 20 place
