BITTER FLAVOR IN CHEESE
A Difficult Problem Which Many
Dairy Authorities Have Tried
to Solve In Vain.

In discussing the means Of getting
rid Of bitter flavor In cheese. at q
conference OF dairy instructors at OF
tawa, Canada, MIR. Publow said:
when the whey is delivered back
to the farms we follow this plan: We
have the tanks thoroughly cleaned ard
then the day when the whey does not
60 back, the farmers have an oppor-
tunity to thoroughly clean the cans.
Where this has been done. there has
been no trace Of the bitter flavor at
the factory the next day. We have the
bitter flavor In some factories from
which the whey does not 60 back,
some Of them being the cleanest fac
tories We have in eastern Ontario. In
one factory, think the cleanest WIS.,
tied this year in eastern Ontario. out
Of the milk of 81 patrons only that OF
four patrons had this bitter flavor.
and the curd made from their milk
was as bitter as bitter elm. The curd
broke down quite soft and would
quicker your tongue. Three Of these
patrons had their cans under trees,
and the other had cans In the yard
with no tree near 1t, but they MIXED
in q stable that was not clean, and
the yard where the milk stood was not
clean. When the cans were removed
from under the trees and thoroughly
cleaned, and the stable Of the other
patron was whitewashed and the milk
taken care Of, the trouble ceased right
away.
I'VE find the bitter flavor is the
most difficult thing to handle in the
making Of cheese. 1t seems to be diff
ferent from the ordinary bitter and
open cheese. The more the acid de-
veloped in the curd, the more open
the cheese would be. We get the best
results by having the milk come In
sweet. But the milk from one section
was so ripe that the curd showed aacid
wien It was soft, there was bitterness
in the cheese. and they would open up
no matter what We did. The open
ness was in little circles or Sits across
the cheese. and in every case the taste
was little bitter.
I'm going through the country l
have been surprised to see how many
cans are under trees. But there are
many cases in which the cans are
kept away from the trees, where the
people are clean and the milk cared
for in first-class fashion, and yet we
find this bitter flavor. Unless the in
lection is in the grass as well as 70
the trees, do not understand how 4!
can infect milk under such circum-
stances"

FrAr-HEADED TREE BoRER.

FlAt-dEADED lhEE oOnER.
Q, iarva: b. beetle; C. head of male: d. pupa

are probably laid during April and
May. Although eggs are sometime
deposited by this insect upon healthy.
well-established trees. 1t evidently
prefers to select sickly or newly
transplanted ones, especially thoss
whose bark has been injured by ca.
posure to the sun. The eggs hatch
within q few days after being depos-
ited. The young larva soon eats
through the bark and proceeds to bore
at some depth beneath the surface.
leaving behind it flattened channel.
Sometimes a single borer will girdle
a tree and cause its death. The larva
reaches Its full growth by the end OF
the summer, being then pale-yellow-
ish grub about half an inch long, with
q broad, fiat head. During the winter
it remains Quiescent. The next spring
1t bores out nearly through the bark.
then moves back little and under
goes its change into an adult beetle
form, the transformation being COM
pleted in about three weeks. The
beetle then cuts an opening through
the bark and escapes to continue the
work of destruction begun by its an
cestors. During the warm part OF the
day 1t may be seen flying about in the
hot sunshine.
There are three ways OF combat
ing the borer: ~ by destroying the
grubs while they are at work In the
tree; (2) by the application Of some
substance that will prevent the eggs
being deposited or will destroy the
eggs and newly Matched larvae, and
(3) by wrapping the tree with some
thing that will prevent the females
gaining access to the bark. But. by
the best methods known, borers are
difficult insects to combat. The larvae
make their way into the wood so
soon after the eggs are deposited and
keep SO completely out of sight as
they work, that they may do much
injury before their presence is sus-
pected, and are difficult to kill when
detected. 1t is>a case where an ounce
of prevention is most decidedly more
effective and more economical than q
pound Of cure.-Arizona Station.

The first pound of tea which came to

by the earl Of Arlington in Holland, and
was brought over by him; and at this
time the earl resided at Arlington house.
