During this the mass is well stirred, and this is continued until the coagu- lation is perfect, so that the wooden spoon or stick used for stirring stands upright in it. Now the curd is worked for some time with the hands, and then put in a linen cloth, which is placed on a stretcher, under which a low tub stands to receive the whey drained off by kneading, squeezing, and jiressing with the hands. When no more whey can be extracted in this manner, a very simple press (Fig. ) is used to complete the work. Tiie hard cake of curd which is obtained is now put in another tub and kneaded with the feet until transformed into a stiff paste. The forms used are made of oak with perforated bottoms and covers fitting closely. The curd is put in in layers, the first being pure curd, but the others being first well mixed with pounded caraway-seed and a little cloves, while on the top of each layer a few cloves are strewed. Every layer is pressed tightly into the form, for which hands or feet are employed. The cheese is now pressed in a simple cheese-press (Fig. -364) for twenty-four hours, the cloths being changed at first every two or three hours. It is then taken out of the form, placed on a small board, and placed in another press for some time until it has assumed the consistency wished for. The salting is done by placing the
