 warm, it is then ino<l absorbeiit. nnd thoroiii>hly eonled 

 before pulling it to iiress, to suppress the coinloned uciion 

 of Itml and i-fimel. The (luaniity of salt required, varies 

 w itii the eoiidiiion of ihe curd, size of cheese, amount of hear 

 to which the cheese is curing, and iu.irket for which it is 

 designed. 



A Well worked cheese, from fifty lo one hundred 

 pounds, re(|iiires one pound of relined salt to forty pounds 

 ofcurvl, to remain iii the cheese after it is pressed and ex- 

 posei) to a teiiiperaliirc! of (roin seventy to eighty degrees. 

 'J his may be varii'd Irom two lo four pounds to the hundred, 

 nceording lo llie lexlure of cheese riiiuired — siiiull cheese 

 requiring less and large cheese more. 



A degree of iiMistiire is necessary in cheese for a imlea!>le 

 tox.ure, biillliis should not bo Irom uiiimal /iiiids nlniiinl in 

 thf iiii-d. A high salted cheese imim-diately exposed lo high 

 temperature, becomes sour, hard, dry and criimbiing : the 

 the same exposed to a cool, damp almospliere retains sulli- 

 rient nmisliire lo be soft, yet solid. A cheese lialit sailed 

 in a high leinperaliire will cure quick, become porous, linily 

 and slah'. i'tird Inuit liny milk, Hcjiiires much less sail 

 than that from grass or grain feetl, as it i^ jiuorer, and will 

 retain salt like lean meals. 'I'lie richer the milk, the more 

 salt In re(|iiircd to control Ihe animal properties, and the less 

 a/isorhriit tlm mid the pores being tilled with the liner but- 

 tery pnrtich's. 



Ml. re salt is required in hot weather also, to overrule the

 (or c.igulator) is a fliod. and works olT wiili the animal 

 lliiidsin whey , and the only way to gii r.d of it, is to work 

 the curd t\a\\n Jine and solid and work the whri/ all out. — 

 'J'hen cool the curd thoroughly before pre^si'lp, nn<l ihe 

 cheese will bi' sidid and keep iis place. Miit if the whey is 

 not all oat, tlie decouipuser is yet <ui hind, (ontiiiues its
