d : Every year adds .to a knowledge of
t many important fine points in cheese
making. While visiting Professor J
o W Robertson at Ottawa last winter,
says a writer, be brought to our atten..
, tion the following interesting fact in
, cheese making. 'faking up a glass of
f water he said ; Let us suppose this is
milk into which a portion of rennet
has been placed. As long as the glass
is held in my hand and subject to the
vibrations of my body the milk wil
not coagulate perfectly. This teaches
that the milk vat should he set on a
perfectly solid foundation without any
vibration whatever. A stone or ce-
mens floor is best. Sometimes the
cheesemaker turns live steam into the
water barrel and starts a vibration in
the building. Experiments have
shown that any disturbance of the milk
while it is coagulating will produce a
lose of several pounds of cheese in
every 1,000 pounds of milk. This. is
worth looking into by cheesemakers
and cheese factory owners. Tliere are
very few factories in this country with
good solid floors.
