We publish the following without being fully 

 onvinced of the author's opinion,though it appears 

 J us more satisfactory than any other which has 

 II een advanced on the subject. We shall like to 

 ave information from dairies, where a poisonous 



neglect the seasonable care of it until the whole 

 mass had become pretty well impregnated with 

 verdigris. — Therefore great care should be taken 

 in this important branch of the dairy, and if metal 

 kettles imist be used in forming the curd, let it be 

 taken out of them as soon as it will possibly answer, 

 and the kettle immediately washed, so that the 

 oxydating action of the rennet, on the kettle, may 

 be stopped. D- S.
