REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. XI 
past year. The making of Camembert cheese has been per- 
fected until now the product is uniform, and we have been 
able to render valuable assistance to various factories in the 
United States who are attempting to make this type of cheese. 
The work of instruction in cheese making will, without doubt, 
occupy a portion of the time of our workers in the future. 
While some progress has been made in experiments with 
Roquefort cheese, we have not yet been successful ‘in per- 
fecting this work. There is every indication, however, that 
as a result of our experiments we will ultimately be as success- 
ful with the Roquefort type as we have been with the Camem- 
bert type.. This cooperative work with the Dairy Division has 
been carried forward in every way perfectly satisfactory to the 
Storrs Experiment Station. 
While this cheese making work is AOE at the present time of 
direct, practical importance in Connecticut, yet there is no 
reason why there could not be established in this state fac- 
tories for the making of some of these types of European 
cheese, and it is our hope that as a result of this work there 
may arise a new industry in the state. The larger part of the 
direct cash outlay connected with this work is borne by the 
Department of Agriculture, the experiment station furnishing 
apparatus, laboratories, milk to work with, and giving direct 
supervision to the experiment work. 
DAIRY INVESTIGATIONS. 
The records of dairy cows have been kept during the past 
year as heretofore, and the representative dairy herd of the 
college makes a valuable equipment for experiment work. 
The Burrell-Lawrence-Kennedy milking machine has been 
under test since October 1, 1905. ‘This machine has been 
tested not only to determine if it would milk cows satisfac- 
torily, but determinations. have been made for the bacterial 
content in the milk when drawn by these machines, of the 
effect of these machines upon the cow, and when the exper- 
iments are concluded we will know the result of the use of 
this machine upon the total milk yield for the year as well as 
upon the quality of the milk and economy in milking. A 
bulletin will be published later giving the detailed results of 
the work with the milking machine.
