By the former of these we must not be understood to refer to the " Keevil apparatus" or the revolving frame of blades usetl in some Wiltshire dairies; they are not Cheddar ;i])]ilianees in any sense of the term. Rut there have been introduced into many dairies implements similar in form to the shovel- breaker first described, but differing from it in the most important pointâthe shape of the rods and side-strips, which are made to cut or lear the curd instead of splitting it. Sections of the various sorts of rods used in the construction of breakers are given in Fig. 102, where a is the wire of the Cheddar shovel- breaker, B the ilianiond wire, and C the cutting blade. Of the two latter, b is de- cidedly the most objectionable, as we know from personal experience; but the use of either interferes with one of the chief principles of the Cheddar system. The "American" method pursued in Transatlantic dairies and factories has, as one of its leading characteristics, the use of cutting instruments, and the factory curd-knives have many blades, situated about half an inch apart, so as to cut the curd into small cubes at the outset. The cntting breakers are, then, we contend, " American " in principle, and should be known as such. "Whether they are improve- ments on the round wire Ijreakers or not matters nothing. They deviate from the true Cheddar jirinciple of breaking. But are they improvements? When these cnt- ting or tearing breakers are used it is impossible to break the curd properly and continnomli/ and not produce a " white ; We have been able to trace the resulting evils to their source in various cases, but the makers fall back on some mysterious and unknown in
