CANADIAN CHEDDAR — FAMOUS CHEESES Canadian cheesmakers confine their activities almost wholly to the Ched­ dar type. Originally cheddar cheese was made in the Cheddar district of Somersetshire, England, but later was manufactured in other parts of Eng- XI S’i VIS GOOD ENOUGH ~7 This outstanding triumph is proof of quality.

Cheddar is I one of the oldest English cheeses on ■ record. In 1655 in -Samuel Hartlib’s “His Legacy of Husbandry,” cheddar is described as the best cheese in Eng­ land, made in England, made in diff- ( erent weights from 20 pounds to 120 I ( pounds, and on the 5th of July, 1695, John Houghton, the author and agri­ culturalist, wrote as follows: “Ched­ dar being warmly seated on the south side of the Mendip hills in Somerset- > shire, and at the foot of them near the town of Axbridge, is exposed on­ ly to the south and southwest winds, and has the moors the south, being a soil for pasturage, , is rendered famous has been long a custom there, as well as in some adjacent parishes, for sev­ eral neighbors to join their milk to­ gether, as occasion requires-, to make ' the said cheese; which is of a bigger size than ordinary; and contends in goodness (if kept a due time, viz. from two years to five according to magnitude) with any cheese in Eng­ land. The sizes of the same cheeses are generally from thirty pounds to one hundred ^pounds." Cheese of abnormally large size has always excited considerable int­ erest. One of the first famous mons­ ter cheeses was made in 1840 as a present to Queen Victoria on her marriage. The cheese was made from the milk of 750 cows by the people of East and West Pennard, in the Cheddar district. The cheese was nine feet four inches in circumfer­ ence with a depth of 20 inches, and weighed 1,232 pounds. Naturally this cheese was regarded in Somersetshire as the greatest possible, but it was a midget in comparison with some of the cheddars turned out a few years later in Canada. Before 1860, Hiram Ranney, of Salford, Ont., made several large cheeses in his dairy farm, one cheese of 1,200 pounds, and in 1865 Andes Smith in his factory near Norwich, Ont., made a cheese of 4,000 pounds. In the following year, Mr. Ranney, in conjunction with his son-in-law, James Harris of tile Ingersoll Cheese Factory, turned out a cheese of 7,000 pounds, which was shown at the New York State Fair at Saratoga and also at the Ontario provincial exhibition at Kingston. From 1882 to 1802, Jas. Ireland of the Galloway factory made 35 large cheeses, eleven of which weighed 5,500 pounds each, but the largest cheese “The Canadian Mite,” which weighed 22,000 pounds net, stood six feet high, and measured 28 feet in circumference, was made at the Dominion Dairy Station, Perth, Ontario, in 1892 for the World’s Fair at Chicago. It required milk for one day in September of 10,000 cows. It was encased in a mould of steel in which it was pressed.' The cheese­ maker, assisted by 12 well-known Ontario cheesemakers, was J. A. Rud- dick,.who for many years was Dairy Commissioner, Dominion Department of Agriculture. It was a wonderful cheese, and after the Fair was Ship­ ped to London, where its prime con­ dition ensured rapid demolition in the restaurants and homes in the -Eng­ lish metropolis.
