From the New York Agricultural

has Y•, comes the following report of
de- tests node with ptu'alilme coating as
a protection for cheese:

When covered with parafiiln°, the

At 40 deg. the difference in favor
of the parafihletl cheese, counting
both quality and quantity, was 51

Briefly summarized, the advantages
of curing cheese at a low tempera -
t aro aro the following:
1. Tho loss of moisture is loss at
low temperatures, ans therefore there
is Imoi•e cheese to sell.
2. The commercial quality of cheese
cured at a low temperature is bet-
ter and this results in giving the
cheese a higher market value,
8. Cheese can bo }old a long time
at low temperatures without im-
pairment of quality,
4. By utilizing the combination, of
parn:ftining cheese and curing it at
low temperatures, the greater econo-
my can be effected,

PASTEURIZING 11TILtC,
The chief advantages of pasteuriz-
ation for butter malting are:
1.. It destroys the germ life of
milk or cream to a large extent, es-
pecially when heated to 185 degrees,
which is tho temperature to bo re-
commended. A clean seed -bed is
thus prepared for the proper germs
to give fine flavor to the butter.
2. It tends to eliminate stable and
feed flavors from milk and cream, es-
pecially with milk in winter.
3. The, ripening of the cream may
be controlled by the butter maker,
which is the important point in mak-
Mg good butter.
4. In case of bad flavored milk,
it enables the butter maker to im-
prove very much the quality of his
goods.
5, By the use of pure cultures
(consxn.only called 'starters') a more
uniform quality is produced from
day to day throughout to year.
6. Tho butter possesses Dat im-
proved trooping quality, hence is bet-
ter suited for the export trade, as
our butter does not reach the con-
sumer for from two to four weeks
after icing made.
7. Ami improved quality of butter
may bo produced at cream gather-
ing creameries by pasteurization of
the cream when sweet. The pasteur-
ization of sour create is attended
with more labor and difficulties, and
the results are not 'so good, It is
dffiicult:,to pasteurize mill( or cream
which waders more than 0.1 per
cent, of acid. However, after natur-
al coagulation takes place in the

tains 0.4to 0,5 per cent, of acid, the
