or if it has been run hot and quick, the cheef- 



ling mould in the morning be " bare-vattcd ;" 



that is, be put into the vat without a cloth 



round it, arid be put again into the prcfs until 



evening. 



The ufe of bare-vatting is id take out the 

 marks of the cloth, and thereby etade a wafte 

 of labour in bringing the cheefe to a fmooth 

 glofly coat. The reafon for the above diftinc- 

 tion is, therefore, obvious ; for the harder the 

 curd, the longer the marks of the cloth are in 

 prefling out; 



In the evening, that which was turned into 

 the dry cloth in the morning, is now bare- 

 vattcd ; and that which was bare-vatted in the 

 morning, is now turned in the vat ; and, having 

 flood in the prefs until morning, tlie procefs is' 

 finished. The cBeefes are taken out b'f the vats; 

 and placed upon the fnelf. 



Thus, fuppofing the ch'ecflirig to be made 

 on Monday fnbrnirig, feven o'clock, it i$, be- 

 tween eight and nine, taken out of the vat ; 

 the cloth warned ; and immediately placed in 

 the prefs again. On Monday evening, it is 

 falted and, if wanted, pared * ; put into a dry 



* A cheefling fliould never, in ftritf propriety, be pared 

 c'fter it has been bare-vatted.
