} CANNED CHEESE.

Washington. March 24.-That Cheddar-process cheese, if put up in afr-tight cans, has certain advanta- ges over cheese handled in the ordi- by the Dairy Division Of the United States Department of Agriculture, af- ter a series of tests which were con- ttnued A number of years. This method, in the opinion of the special istss seems to meet the needs Of han dlers who have been trying to devise some individual package for this kind of cheese or. method of handling that would eliminate cutting and waste between the factory and the consumer.
 As result of the experiments it was found that it was commercially practicable to press the cheese in hoops of small diameter. cut it into pieces of desired weight. and seal it in alright tin cans. This provides a sanitary package which keeps the cheese from exposure to the air or contamination, and prevents loss of weight by evaporation. In addition to these advantages there is no rind, which, of course, is always a loss.
 The exact cost to the manufac-= turer. it is estimated, is about three cents for labor and cans; part of this cost. however.zis offset by 5the8fact that there is no loss on account of evaporation ana f1nQ.8 GneeSS cured in cans has certain points of super torIty that besides it's cleanliness, rec ommend it to many consumers. It is soft enough to spread when well ripened, has we'll developed Ched- dar flavor. If there are facilities for keeping it cool it should prove to be popular with camping parties and on boats. Also. farmers who live at some distance from stores would find canned cheese to be convenient, as it enables them to lay in a supply that will last and keep for one or two months in cold weather
 When cheese is packed in an air tight can the formation of gas that is Characteristic in cheese ripening sometimes causes swelling of the can, but this does not necessarily indicate that the contents are unfit for com sumption. Cheese handled in this way is as perishable as any other cheese, and should not be allowed to stand in a warm room too long before using; this is point which should be made clear to consumers, who may think that 8 cheese put up in tris manner will keep indefinitely. The length of time that cheese of this kind can be kept depends very large Iy on the temperature. The lower the temperature the more the natural fermentation of the cheese is check ed At a temperature of 40 degrees canned cheese probably will remain good for several months.
 At the present time one of the large cheese factories in Wisconsin. in cooperation with a, cheese dealer, is endeavoring to extend it's trade in this fom of product.
