288 _ Report OF THE CHEMIST OF THE 
10. An extended comparison of the stirred-curd and Cheddar 
processes of manufacture with reference to (1st) the loss of milk 
constituents, (2d) the composition of the cheese,and (8d) the 
yield of cheese, 
11. What changes occur in the ripening process (a) in the 
composition of the fat, (b) in the composition of the casein and 
albumen, and (c) in the sugar. 
XII. RESULTS OF INVESTIGATION OF CHEESE 
APPLIED TO PRACTICAL DAIRY PROBLEMS. 
Under this head, we shall treat, in a more or less general way, 
the following subjects : 
1. The common method of paying for milk at cheese factories. 
2. The method of paying for milk according to the amount of 
fat contained in it. | 
3. Manufacture of whole-milk cheese and skim-milk cheese. 
4. Remedy for the chief defect in the present method of judg- 
ing cheese in open market. 
5. Cheese-making and butter-making. 
_ Tae Common Metuop or Payina For MILK aT CHEESE Facrorizs. 
We will suppose that eight men take milk to a cheese factory, . 
each man furnishing 100 pounds of milk varying in composition 
according to the milk used in the series of experiments described 
in this report; that is, the first man’s milk is like that used in the 
first experiment, the second one’s like that used in the second 
experiment, etc. We willsuppose that these milks, mixed together, 
make the same amount of cheese as when they are separate, 
though, as a matter of fact, they would probably produce a little 
more cheese whenmixed. As seen in the table below, the amount 
of marketable cheese made from these milks, 100 pounds of each, 
is 86.1 pounds. Suppose the cheese sells for 9.85 cents per pound ; 
that is equivalent to twenty-five cents for each pound of fat in the 
milk; the present market price of cheese would probably justify a 
‘higher price. The amount of money received for the 86.1 pounds 
of cheese at 9.85 cents per pound would be eight dollars and forty- 
eight cents. There are eight men to share it equally, as each con- aa 
tributed the same amount of milk ; hence the share of each would 
be about one dollar and six cents. |
