Cheese.

AS means of Encouraging the cheese
industry in Minnesota the state dairy
and food commission will begin on
May 1, a six months cheese contest,
Prizes will be offered each month to
the three cheesemakers getting the
highest score and at the end of the con"
test to those making the best record
for the six months
The details of the plan have not been
decided, but the cheese will probably
be scored in ST. Paul and Fl. E. Vro-
man, cheese expert of the commission,
will probably have charge of the con-
test Commissioner w. w. 2. McCon-
nell, will soon issue a circular giving
instructions for sending the cheese and
further details regarding the contest.
Five qualities will be observed in
testing the cheese. They are: flavor
texture, salt, color and style. Regard
ing flavor Inspector Vroman says:
"Cheese should not have sharp taste,
so as to bite the tongue, but be of a
mild, pleasant, lasting taste" Texture
is the next importantq If cheese
crumbles too easily or sticks to- the
fingers, it's texture is faulty. When
cheese is put up in good style, the
bandage is neatly trimmed around the
edge, there are no spots of rind and
the surface is spri0gy
