NEEDS OF THE WISCONSIN CHEESE INDUSTRY. U. S. Baer, Madison.

All this has created a need in Wisoonsin for educated chl3e-makers-cheese-makers who are not only skilled in their profession over the cheese-vat and in the euring-rooms but makers of a broader education and caliber. Several conditions affect the quality of milk intended for cheese production. In the first place, it must be secreted from healthv cows, fed on pure food and kept in clean stables. Sec- ond, it must be of high quality so far as the composition is con- eerned. Third, it must be so treated that the fat does not read- ily separate from the other solids, and it mist not undergo fer- mentation. LAt of all, it must be clean.
