$1,000 IN CHEESE PRIZES.
Awards to Be Made at Cheesemakers'
Convention Jan. to 10.

Convention Jan. to To.
Nearly $1,000 in prizes will be
awarded at the next monthly cheese
scoring exhibition Of the University Of
Wisconsin dairy school, to be held in
connection with the annual conven-
ton of the Wisconsin Cheesemakers'
The cheese will be kept in the univer-
sity curing rooms until shortly before
the convention, when they will be
shipped to Milwaukee and scored
there by the three regular judges who
have officiated at the university's
monthly contests since May.
The highest score made this month
in the cheese exhibition, the results
of which are just announced, was that
Of P. H. Kapper of Welcome for his
| cheddar cheese, with a percentage Of
97.75. The three next highest in the
| cheddar class were w. J. Schoepke,
also of Welcome, 1856; A. L. Bennett
of Clintonville, 1925, and w. L. Ropp,
South Kaukauna, 96.75. In the brick
cheese class Casper Andregg of La
Crosse took highest honors, with a per
cent of 1888, followed by Otto Som
mer of Cedarburg, with 94.33, and E.
R. Ebert of Juneau and Oscar Kamer
Of La Crosse, with 94.16 per cent each.
No entry took score below 1888, and
the average was high, being 94.O7 per
cent. The maximum percentage of
moisture content was>43 and the mini
mum 80, giving an average of 35.7.
The makeup of the cheeses, which
was commonly defective a few years
ago, has been much improved, but few
cheeses having a high edge or poor
bandaging. The principal defects
found were in coarse, unclean and fer
+ mented whey flavor. The coarse fla
vor is usually caused by having the
milk over-ripe before setting, and the
unclean f1avors suggest the necessity
for more Clearly milking processes
and better care of milk before deliv-
cry. The fermented whey fiavors re-
suit from uncleanliness in the factory.
The two main faults in the texture
were that they were pasty, from
leaving too much moisture in the curd,
or uneven, from poor sailing and I'M
even mating. The principal faults
! found in the brick cheeses were I'M
clean or acid f1avors and short or
+ weak textures.
