THE CHEESE QUESTION.
Sir,—We notice in your weekly is- sue of April 27th, a letter headed “What’s the Use of an _ Instructor?” and a reply to same inthe following issue by Mr Underhay. We agree in every particular with the contents of the first letter excepting to dis- pense with the services of a_ travelling instructor, and contend this isa neces- sity we cannot afford to do without. Your worthy correspondent, ‘A Patron,” suggests that before a maker should be engaged he should attend a dairy school ; and we admit this would be all- right as far as it goes. But it does net go far enough. The fact of his being a graduate of a dairy school with a duly signed dipioma will not prevent him going astray after settling down for the season only having his own experience and judgment to consult and guide him. Cheese— making is not only a_ progressive science, but a very intricate and com- plicated one, as well. To insure a product of a first-class and uniform quality we must have a practical head or leader; for it is an established fact, and one that nearly every maker will admit that not one out of every ten of the cheese-makers in Canada today actually knows by trying his own cheese if they really are what they should be. But say we take any of our makers and let him visit the differ- ent factories day after day, converse

object ? First by insinuating that he is dishonest, that it is impossible to make a low average except by tam- pering with the weight at che miik can, giving for his authority the results of a certain maker in the western part of the Island, and simply concludes because he did not succeed in mak- ing a low average that it is impossible to give nght weight and do so. We contend it is ; and last year the factory
owned and directed by the instructor of the Kingston dairy school, which is acknowledged to be the best practical
authority in Canada on cheese-making, made 1 1b. of cheese out of 10 Ib of miik for the season. As regards the quality we might safely, we think, leave that to the attitude of the buyers on the board
who should know the quality ofa good cheese as well as Mr. Underhay woul! that of a potato.
