From Mr . MONK ' Suney of Leicestershire . TAKE the night ' s cream , and put it to the morning ' s new milk , with therennet ; when the curd is come , it is not to be broke , as is done with other cheeses ; but take it out with a soil-dish all together , and place it in a sieve to drain gradually ; and , as it drains , keep gradually pressing it till it becomes firm and dry ; then place it in a wooden hoop : afterwards to be kept dry on boards , turned frequently , with cloth binders round it , which are to be tightened as
occasion requires . N . B . The dairy-maid must not be disheartened if she does not succeed perfectly iii her first attempt . In the dairies which I visited , the cheeses , after being taken out of the wooden hoop , were bound tight round with a cloth , which cloth was changed everyday until the cheese became firm enough to support itself ; after the cloth was takenoff , they were rubbed every day all over , for two or three months , with a brush ; and , if the weather is damp or moist , twice a day ( and , even before the cloth was taken off , the top and bottom well rubbed eyery day ) .
