CHEESES 4.6 IV AND 4.6 V. 
These cheeses were studied together. for the purpose of bringing 
out the differences in the flora of good cheese made simultaneously 
at different factories. 
They were made September 27, 1904, Cheese 4.6 IV at the Crown 
Brand factory, Denmark, N. Y., and Cheese 4.6 V at the Merry 
Factory, Verona, N. Y., and each reached our laboratory two days 
later. They weighed 48 and 33 lbs. respectively and were well 
made examples of home trade cheddar, their later scores showing 
them to be of unusually high quality. 
After reaching us they were dipped in hot paraffin and placed 
in the curing room at 60° F. (15.5° C.). They were handled pre- 
cisely alike, both in the curing room and in the time and manner 
of examination. The cheeses were studied until they were 92 days 
old, 9 samples being taken for analysis. The media used were simi- 
lar to those used with Cheese 4.6 III. 
Quantitative flora— Twenty-seven cultures were isolated from 
Cheese 4.6 IV and 26 from Cheese 4.6 V. Twenty-six representa- 
tive cultures from these two cheeses were classified upon cards as 
shown in Table VIII.
