PROTECTION AGAINST INSECTS. 
A very important item is that of protecting the cheeses 
against flies and other injurious insects. 
The outer doorways, the windows, and every other possible 
opening should be carefully euarded by screens with as fine 
a mesh as can be procured, as the smallest flies produce the 
most trouble. If this is not carefully attended to, the cheeses 
are sure to become filled with fly maggots. 
In the ripening rooms protection against these insects can 
be secured to a considerable extent by keeping the rooms 
dark; for flies will not readily breed and multiply in a dark 
place. 
THE MAKING OF THE CHEESE. 
Milk. The milk used in making Camembert cheese should 
be of the best quality, that is, clean and fresh. Two quarts of 
milk are required for each cheese.
