Butter and Cheese

Within the last few years the custom
Of coating the cheese with all imper-
vious layer has been suggested, with
the object mainly Of preventing the
Of mold. For this pur-
pose paraffin has been found to be the
most suitable agent. The application
Of such a layer to the cheese not only
prevents the growth Of mold spores by
excluding the air, but materially re-
tards the rate at which the cheese loses
its moisture. Paraff1ned cheese, there
fore, dries out much more slowly than
the untreated product, and the appli-
cation Of this method Is of particular
service In the handling Of the smaller
types Of cheeses, which have a relative
" larger superficial area exposed to the
air. BY covering the cheese with
paraffin the total loss Of moisture can
be reduced several pounds per hundred.
In comparative tests cheeses covered
with parafIin were entirely clear, while
the others were more or less heavily
coated with mold.
The Best Keeping Butter.
ments In the storage Of butter by the
dairy division Of the national depart
msnt Of agriculture is that light salt
ing and low temperatures and the use
Of cream received at the creamery In
Z sweet condition give much the best
results for storage butter. Other
points Of interest are that butter In full
cans and tubs at the lower tempera-
lures scored about the same. At the
higher temperatures there was slight
difference In favor Of cans. Butter In
full cans kept better than that in cans
only partially full. On the whole, but
ter held at the lowest temperature kept
best, both when In storage and after
removal from storage. Butter made
from cream received sweet kept well
while stored at the lower temperatures
and also after removal from storage
giving results wholly satisfactory. But
ter made from cream received sour
also kept well at the lower tempera
lures. but 'deteriorated rapidly after
removal from storage, giving, on the
whole, results which were very unsatis
factory.
Butter From sweet Cream.
Butter Of better quality, though not
quite so much in quantity, was pro
duced from sweet cream than from
ripened cream in some recent Ontario
tests.
Overchurning.
When butter has gathered stol
churning. Butter is frequently spoiled
by churning too long Drain OF thu
