. ooD cheese is a nOurishing food.
III How to make It Is a question

- ooD chese 10 q nourishing food.
Vv How to make 1t is a question
OF interest to every farmer
end dairyman. A. w. Rudnick Of the
GARY department OF the Kansas Agri-
cultural College gives the following
directions:
/. Use the ordinary sanitary pre-
cautions in handling the milk,--that
is, keep all the utensils free from
dust and dirt (they should also be
steamed or scalded) and remove the
milk from The barn Immediately after
milking.
.. Next take a test OF the acidity
Of the milk-more minute directions
for making this test may be had from
the dairy department but the follow
ing will serve to show the method:
A sample of the milk is taken and a
few drops OF an alcoholic solution
Of phenothaline are added. This is
stirred slowly and drop by drop one
tenth normal sodium hydroXide is
poured into the mixture until the So
luton turns pink. The percentage
Of acidity is then figured as follows:
The amount OF sodium hydroxide
used is multiplied by 8 and the re-
suit divided by the amount Of milk
used. This result should be about
0.19 or 0.20 when II is ready for rem
net to be added. II 1t is less than
that a small amount Of clean sour
milk can be added.
8. Add cheese color at the rate Of
one ounce of color to 1000 pounds Of
milk.
4. Heat the milk to Sc F. Then
add rennet at the rate Of four ounces
to 1000 pounds of milk. The rennet
is diluted in twenty times its bulk OF
water (having temperature OF So F.
and added while the milk Is being
stirred vigorously. Stir for a few
minutes longer and then cover the
vat with a cloth.
The curd Is ready 10 cut when 1t
will break clean from the side Of the
vat. II should then be cut into "
inch cubes with knives made .or that
purpose. These cubes should be con-
stantly stirred in the whey SO that
they vii not mat. Next the nurd
should be heated to about 9S' F.,
reaching that temperature in from
90 to 80 minutes. The curd is al
lowed to remain in the whey until
the whey has an acidity of from O.16
to O.1S. This curd should be in such
a condition that when 1t is taken in
the hand, pressed and released. 1t
will spring out Of the hand. The
whey is then drawn off and the curd
piled on either side of the vat in piles
about six inches deep, leaving a ditch
in the center for the whey to drain
away. Now cover the curd with a

which is made into flexible or dirigi'
BILE sled. The top part Of the runners.
shown in dotted lines. is cut off on
a level with the seat and the ends are
fastened together with a transverse
bar a. made OF iron or wood. From
this bar, and fastened thereto, are
bars b, one on each side Of the seat
and parallel Herewith. These bars
are fastened to all the standards OF
the sled. On the front bar is fastened
a steering lever c, which is fulcrumed
BY the notwithstanding arms d
to the front part of the seat Of the
sled. Il is now evident that when the
operator wishes to steer to the right.
he presses the lever with the left foot,
and vice versa. AS the steering lever
Is thus moved, II will be noticed that
II moves the transverse bar to one
side or the other, thereby curving the
runners In the same direction. which
will then follow smoothly in the
curved tracks.
It will be noticed from the plan
view. Fig. 2. that the end standard is
bolted to the seat Of the sled, and
that the other two standards are not,
so as to allow a free movement OF the
runners when operated upon By the
steering lever.
Two pieces OF wood should be fast
ened under the seat, a short distance
each side Of the forward standard. to
allow for side movement.
The old iron shoes on the wood run.
ners should be taken of and curved
or followed as shown in Fig 4, or may
be replaced by new ones. b. refer

clean cloth, and in about 30 minutes,
cut 1t in strips six inches wide. Turn
these strips every half hour and pile
them about three deep until they are
in such a condition that they will
tear like the meat on the breas: OF
chicken. Now the curd should be
cut into small pieces (about. SKA
inch). This process which is known
as milling Is for convenience and aid
in sailing, which Is done when the
curd has cooled to about 90 F. Ordi-
nary dairy salt, ut the rate of about
two pounds to 1000 pounds OF milk
Is used. II Is put on In three appli-
cations, the curd being stirred thor
oughly after each application. When
the curd becomes glossy 1t is ready
for the hoop.
The Young American Hoop is prob
ably the best for farm purposes. This
hoop Is about nine inches deep and
seven inches In diameter. A cotton
cloth is placed on the bottom and g
cheese bandage with the seam in, iSN
placed over the metal which Is placed
in the hoop. The hoop is now ready
! for the curd which is put into 1t and
cloth like the one on the bottom is
placed on top of this curd. Then a
circular board fitting the hoop snug
ly is placed on top Of this and the
cheese is ready for the press.

II cider press is used It should
be screwed as tight as possible. Az
ter the cheese has been in the press
six or eight hours it should be taken
out, the bandage drawn free from
wrinkles, and a circular piece OF
cheese cloth placed on each end.
Then the cheese should be returned
to the hoop just the reverse of the
way It had been in before and the
pressure applied again for from "a to
30 hours longer. Then the cheese Is
ready for curing. A clean cellar room
where the temperature is below 65' F.
is good place for this process. The
cheese should be placed on clean, dry
shelves or tables. and turned each
day. If any excessive moisture ap-
pears 1t must be wiped OF with q
clean dry cloth. In from five to eight
weeks, the cheese will be ready to
use. Dipping in hot parafln when It
is from five to seven days old pre-
vents evaporation and keeps the
cheese from moulding.
This process may seem long but in
reality 1t requires only q smai!'
amount OF time each dry after the
curing hegins, and by following ,he
directions carefully the farmer can
have an abundance Of an almost per-
feet food with a very small outlay
Of cash.

that she needs time and training to

that men have decided there Is as
