particularly desirable to cultivate aft
er each rain, as the packing by thu
raindrops forms hard crust. Some
soil for but the fraction of an incl
packs the soil so thoroughly that cap

night at a temperature of about 6
degrees. Then heat the next morn
ing to about 100 degrees and let stan
for one hour. The skim milk cur

curd so that there is much less los
during the straining process than
the case when an attempt is made t
separate the buttermilk curd alone b
the cloth strainer.
