It is ready for the curd knife in about half an hour, its readiness being deter- 
mined as in Cheddar cheese. The cutting is done with a curd knife, the product 
then being stirred by hand or by rake. The curd is heated to from 98° F. in win- 
ter to 105° or 110° F. in summer. After the desired temperature is obtained the 
cheese is stirred occasionally with the rake until the whey is drawn at 0.14 or 
0. 15 per cent acidity. The curd is then stirred thoroughly to keep it from matting 
and is salted at the rate of 1^ pounds to 100 pounds of curd, the whole being 
thoroughly stirred. During the salting process cold water is run under the vat, 
the hot water having been previously run off. 
The curd, no hoops being used, is put into press cloths at a temperature of 
80° or 85° F. One gallon of curd is put into each cloth, making a cheese weigh- 
ing 63^ pounds. With one hand the corners of the cloth are caught up tight, the 
cheese being pressed and rolled with the other hand. The cheese is then pressed 
overnight and placed in the curing rooms for three weeks before being ready 
to ship.
