The most favourable tem[)erature to hold milk for cheesp-making purposes is 6-)" Fahr. A certain development of lactic acid is essential to keep the undesir-able organisms in check, and it will be found that the best results will be obtained ai- t 'at teni|)erature. It is to be regretted that th^re are not much better methods adopted in the cooling of the night's milk than those which at present exist in the average South Coast dairy, In fact, in some places no attempt is made to cool the milk ; it is .simply allowed to stand until the morning, when it i- generally in an over-ripe condition—it is impossible for any cheese-maker to make good cheese out of over-ripe milk—and the majoritv of complaints which arise are due to the fact that proper care and attention h:i\ e not been given to the night's milk. Every up-to-date daii-y farmer should have facilities for cooling the night's milk. The little expense inciu red in erecting a small building to cool and keej) the milk in would be rctuincd in the increased pric(^ obtaimjd for the product. A concrete tank in the ground to catch the rain-water from the roof of th(» milking shed, an elevated 400 gallon iron tank, a small hand pump, and a small spiral cooler are the necessai-y appli- ances. Tlie water, after circulating through the cooler and performing the operation of cooling the milk, can be allowed to inn back into the under- ground tank. A sketch of a small dairy and cooling apparatus, which are within the means oi every dairy farmer, are shown in tigs. 2 an
