Making Cheese in Olden Days. Cheese was made by the old-time farmers in the summer on the co-operative plan by which four cattle owners own-ers owning say 14 milch cows, received all the milk night and morning, according ac-cording to the daily yield of their little herd. Thus given two fami'ies having five cows each, one with three and one with one, supposing that the average yield per cow was the shv.h. In two weeks, two owners would ma.ie five cheeses each; one would press three, and one only one cheese, bin this one would be as good and as lar:;e as any of the rest.
