Cheese Making. 

 MrssRs. Editors — Cnnimunicaiitms are occcasion- 

 ally mudc thrnugh your paper, giving the beei milhud 

 of niiik.ng cliucse lioiii prnclicnl experiiiitnis. — As 

 your Jixiriial is tJesigiicd tur a medium ibruugb wb.cL 

 fnrmtre i«n iiiieitliMnue ibelr views upon ibi- various 

 BU'j'Xts coiiuectHd wnb Uieir b:gU rnll.ng, I fcubinil 

 ■ the lollowiiig, if yuu tliiiik it wuiihy uf occupying a 

 CJJiier of yjur F.irmcr. 



Tbe plan generally proposed by your correspond- 

 ents, is to biroin tbe milk in tbe tub over nigbt, and 

 warm it in the morninjr, carefully stirring in llie 

 ■cream. Mr. A. F. Bill, in llie October number of tbe 

 New Gi-'nesee Farmer, Bays, — "In the morning take 

 «|T tbe rreiin witli a skiiiiiiier and put it in a vrs.-el 

 by itself: tl.cn warm tbe mk, ur a pait of it, over a 

 slowtire till about blond beat; then pour in tbe cream, 

 and stir it nioJerniely till there are no particles to be 

 aeeii lluating upon tbe sin lace." 



It sceiiie to me evident, thut when the cream is once 

 •epirated fro.n tbe milk, it can never be so thorougblj 

 inc'irporaieJ with it again, as to set the milk as soon 

 aa taken from tbe cow. 



Our method is this: Immediately after the cows 

 arc milked at night, (and tbe quicker the operation is 

 perforin'H -he better, ) we strain it into the cbie^e tub 

 and put in lb: rennet — as tbe milk when it first comes 

 from tue>;j>vi8in precisely tbe right tempeiaiure to 

 get. It the rennet is good, and properly prepared, a 

 1 arge table 8,ioonful is suffieient for a pnilful of milk^ 

 Tne tub should then be covered with a cloth, and al- 

 lowed to stand undisturbed — in about '10 minutes it 

 Will coagulate. It is then carefully cut, the tub again 

 covered and left to stand till morning. When tbe tub 

 is wanted for tbe morning's milk, tbe night's curd lo 

 dipped into the cheerC ba=kel, or chieieeink, toArain, 

 and tbe morning's milk stiained into the tame tub. 

 The rennet is then put on, going through the same 

 pro ;ei8 as with tba night's milk. When suiriciently 

 drains I, tbe two curds are ready to be put together, 

 ■ calded and salted according to the discretion of the 

 maker. 



Tause who have had tbe least experience in the 

 management of milk, must know that warming it 

 after it has once ooled, gives it a tendency to sour tbe 

 quicker. Any person who will take the trouble to 

 ry tbe experiment, will find that curd made from milk 

 warm from tbe cow, will keep ataet much longer than 

 thit which has been warmed over the tire; and, be- 

 giles Ihi.'*, it saves the time and trouble of skimming 

 and wanning. Nothing will makeagoud cheese ma- 

 ker assume a belligerent attitude so quick, as to see 

 tbe ekiminer lloniisUed over the cheese tub. 



From a long experience in a modern sized dairy, 1 

 am persuided that in nj way can sj much, or cheese 

 of 8 1 go id qualit/ be made, as to set the milk while 

 warm from tbe cjw. Yours, 



E. UISIIOP. 

 Atlica, Ocncsce co. April, 1841. 

 P. S. — While upon a subject connected with cows, 

 let me suggest to your currespundents who occasional 

 ly send yuu the quantity of milk given by a pariiculai 

 cow, to give it 111 pourt'U, and nut in q larts. It can 

 be done much easier, and with gienter accuracy; ani 

 not only s >, but in the latier cnse it is too often gucs.-i- 

 eJ at, Ji meisured, froth and all, in bruised and bat- 

 tered quart mcasuica. 



to you, in hopes that if you give it publicity, it 

 may be of some benefit to '.hose who are yearly losing 

 many ot their caitlc. 



Il}:cii'E. — Give li nz. penrlnsb, dissolved in 2 qls 

 of iron-water, from hlacksiiiitb's ircugh.) If noibet- 

 (Cr in .5 hours, give i an oz more in 1 qt. water. The 

 water should be warm. Gve no drink but worm wa- 

 ter, for two days. Give warm mash to eat. 



The person from whom I gut the recipe has cured 

 n great many cattle in this vicinity, ot one dollar per 

 bead, and ac-ked $1 for tbe recipe. I take ibis mode 

 ol making it ns prblic os possible.
