ANTIQUITY OF CHEESE.
Homer and the Book of Job A,Iude ia

''o''eT ana the BOOK OF JOB AsIude to
the Product.
Cheese and curdling Of the milk are
mentioned in the book Of Job. David
was sent by his father, Jesse, to carry
ten cheeses to the camp and to look
how his brother Jared. "Cheese of
kine' formed part of the supplies of
David's army at Mahanaim during the
rebellion of Absalom.
Homer says that cheese formed part
OF the ample stores found by Ulysses
in the cave Of the Cyclop Polyphemus.
Euripides. Theocritus and other early
poets mention cheese. Ludolphus
says that excellent cheese and butter
were made by the ancient Ethiopians,
and Strabo states that some of the an.
cient Britons were so ignorant that.
though they had abundance of milk.
they did not understand the art of
making cheese.
There is no evidence that any of
these ancient nations had discovered
the use Of rennet in making cheese.
They appear to have merely allowed
the milk to sour and subsequently to
have formed the cheese from the case
GUS part of the milk after expelling
the serum or whey.
AS David when too young to carry
arms was able to run to the camp
with ten cheeses, ten loaves and an
ephah Of parched corn, the cheeses
must have been very small.
