The curd-mill was hardly known among American cheese-makers up to as late a period as 1806, and not usually found at dairy supply stores till still later. It has since been not only generally introduced but greatly imin'oved in its construction. The best American curd-mill is undoubtedly the patent of Whitman and Burrell, made with knives on the cylinder, as shown in Fig. 93, page 207. The knives are set spirally, so as to cut the curd and carry it through rapidly. The grate is also a set of knives. The advantage of knives over pegs is very great, cutting the curd instead of tearing it, and entirely preventing " white ; The engraving shows its peculiarities, and how easily it must work. The price is about 20 dollars. Cheese-presses have been invented and improved in the United States, at the rate of one or two patents a year, from the beginning of the century, five prior to 1S50, five during the year 1876, and a total of over a hundred up to 1881. Despite the later inventions, the old-fashioned vertical press with a wooden screw to each cheese is still much in use. The Frazer gang- press was a long step forward, but better ones soon followed.
