. Dairy farming : being the theory, practice, and methods of dairying. Dairy farms; Dairy plants; Milk plants. PKESS-BOARD. with weights by means of rope and pulley, in such manner that the pressure is continued and followed up by the weights, and the screw is arranged so that it can be raised or lowered to accommodate any height of cheese. In the second figure the levers and weights are omitted, but the length of the screw is adjustable as in the other. The general construction is fully shown. The presses represented cost 50 dollars and 40 dollars respec- tively, and others of the same kind from 30 dollars to 90 dollars, according to capacity (Fig. 271). Millar's patent cheese-hoops, used with these presses, are shown in Fig. 272. They are made of heavy galvanised iron, with a perforated bottom and loose open rim, and are suitable for any ordi- nary screw-press. Over the inner spring hoop, which is raised to the height of the curd, the press- board shown in Fig. 273 is placed, and follower and rubber ring are needless. As pressure is applied, the loose ring sinks into the hoop with the cheese. Price 5 dollai-s each. The seamless cheese-bandage (Fig. 2 7-4), patented Feb. loth, 187S, by E. V. Lapham, of :Morrison, Illinois, although a very simple thing, is one of the most valuable contributions lately made to American cheese-making appliances. It is sold in the bolt, usually fifty yards, like any i)an cloth, of dif- ferent qualities and sizes, but is a continuous seamless cylin- der. Cut the right length and the bandage is ready. It costs just the same as the material alone for the ordinary lui- bleached band- age. Thus it saves the labour of making, the waste in the cutting and in seams, and the thread. The bandage is better, too, for it is always certain to fit the hoop of given size for which it is made, and there is no seam to rip open or to mark the cheese in pressing. In ordering, the size of the hoop is given, that of the bandage corresponding. Whitman and Bu
