CHKK8K CUKINd K00MS. The beat Kaatern cheese makers are fully aware of the intluence exerted by the curing room upon the quality of the product The president of tho Wisconsin Dairymen's Associa tion lately offered a oaah nria for the Iw-.t eaeav on tho construction ot uuriug-roonis, which wait awanled to Mr. J. A. Smith, of ShulMiygan county. Of the general importance of the our-ing-roorii he said. "Ou the iUestion of curing cheeso, 1 will say that 1 believe it is the point most neglected and abused of auy of the stupid itiua wo practice on unoffending choose, that aro comparatively perfect when thuy oolne from the hoop. There is far leas difference in theuualitv of chcoee at that time than there ia after that. If all the cheese of a county liko Jefferson and Sheboygan were taken from the factories, say twice a week, and put into suitable ouiiug rooms, where thuy would have the beat care in addition to being in tho right kind of an atmos phere, tho ptoduut wuuld soil for tens of thous. and of dollars more ier annum than it does uow. It will be interesting to review briellv tho atylo of building which thu prise essayist pre scribed for a curing room. Although some da. tails which ho insist upon may nut lie essential in this country where winters aro not so severe as at tho Kaat, cur readers can ierhaia use his ninaa as suggestive anil modily their construc tion to meet local conditions. " The end and aim should be to construct a curing, room caiable of good ventilation, in which cheese cau bo placed when takmi from the hoop, that has a temperature of from HA to no I Li 1. I . Fa;j i i t , ... nun w mu m can iiv jii.um.iiin ii uigui ami nay, with very little variation, till tho choose are boxed and shipped. To do this it is necessary for the mi hi i in In constructed so that thooheeao maker can work in harmony with th univoreal law that hoatod air will rise oasily, rapidly, anil freely if it ha a ohance, and that cold air will fall by thu operation of the same law. It move moat naturally in perpendicular line. To move hoatod air in a lateral direction reiiiirea far more foroo, as it haa to struggle against the nat ural law that makea it rise. Hence, tho xsi. tivo heat force should be in the base of tho building, and the escajie or ventilation, at the top. So if 1 was going to build a cheeso curing, mom, to bo heated either with wood or oool stoves, I would make the stone or brick base walla six and on. half ft. high, put the heating stove at one end of the basement room, tho chimney at tho other, and run tho pi;ie the whole length ol the room, enough below the Hour joists to make it safe in regard to lire. The suwrstriicturo I would have only one high story in bight, so that one or more skylight vontilators, having an or illoe of .'(t) siUare ft could lie easily made with, out running them through a second story; but 1 would have a double air spare between tin oeil. ing and the roof, to the end that the hot rays ol the sun could not penetrate, as they will through a roof and one coiling. The llnor of the curing-room, instead ol being laid with matched stuff, I would have of one and nun. hall inch boards, laid far enough apart to let through tho warm air from below, making interstice wider a the llnor was laid from the store to the chimney end of tho building, for the reason that a the air would lie warmeat at the stove end the interstice should be less, to lot it through. The window should be doublu, and have blind.. The walla of the suimratruoturn. if mad of brick, ahould have an air span within, or be lurwwnd and plastered, so a l. give au air siaoe. If mad of wood, th stud ding should be six inches wide, uerd and sealed, both aid, and th space Ailed with aawdust, shaving wall packed down, or grout. What ia wanted ia to mak and retain th whole air of the room warm so aa Ui mark 70 on the thermoinetar when th ouUide air la be low that point, and whn it I hollar than that oulatd, shut out th influence uf th beat a much as possible I here will b a fw hoi days each eoa, whan the hat will aha abor 70 la such a building, bat th inflaaaoa of thoae day may b very much modified by throwing wid opn th basement door and th window and the skylight atnight, and at Urn in th day whan the sun ia not (muring down its hottest ray. Whila the plan will not kaep the temperature where it ought to be during a very fow of tho vary hottest days, yet it ha i-oronl ivtntml of the fOORl t0 ttUtke 1 warm as required at any tim. andthat Uine embraces iiitietoen-twuiitietha of tlx tim, or more, of making and curing th oh, duriug tho time our factories are usually operatatl," i iinceniiug th tiae of ouring-rooma, th re marks of tho Wisconsin essayist mac ba of ,..,. eral application : "A building '.20x40 ft, having three rows of double raoka running Ungthwui of the building, uaoh rauk beiug four ahdvai in uigni, would matte storing room plenty for a four thousand pound vat workd full aoh day. This would admit of th eh being katit un til the olduat were about seventy days old, and would store the eoiiteiit of near two vat full, if sales w en. made aa fast aa the cheese is thirty days old. After cheese aro thirty day old, if kept well curiug in th meantim, they ahould be put in a cooler room than la essential for new choose, .ind so I would hav a partition two thirda the distance from the atoro and, aoraa the room, and have it mailt, with lam. fMiHaa lours in it, and the Hour so arramiud with saaal that the heat from below could be shut olT (r.., that portion of the curing-room. Into this room I would put th older eheose till tim of shipment I have used "turners" and oIimso box covers to sat cheese on, but have not found anything so satisfactory as about one ami .,.. half iuch boards planed on both aid, and limit ono inch wider thau th diamr of the hoops Used.

Now that manv of our dairymen are building lln barn 11 may in tereat them to know of an arrangement which na iiocu unci for some tune in the Kaat Auto matic platforms, hv which the stable may b made to clean itaell, can ho made, t Ins dairy man has had una in otHiratinn for more than two years. Not live minutes of time have bean i ponded in his stable in two year In olaoulng. I't th fore feat of th uattlo stand on a wooden platform and their hind feet upon an iron grating, made of wrought iron bar thrae eighths of an inch thick and one and one ball inch wide, The bar of ilia grates are plaod ono and livo-olghtha inch apart, and rests on irmi Joists ono half inch by two, the ranting mi an angle iron sill at the back uf the platform, aud the other end resting M the wnodau plat form.

There must U a re eoiitaclo Ulnw the grata which muat b olaaned when tilled; but this cleaning ia no mora lalwr than w hon the manure is thrown out into a pile.

Their feet stand across the bare, Th grating can not be used lu barns in which th manure froeaea. No meal. work come in contact with tho manure, and therefor tin i . U no Wood to to Ik rotted. If winter dairying I to b in auguratad, cows must lie kepi clean. Th plat form onats no mora than th bedding of a cow for ono aaaaon, Thi platform aave all th liiuid a well as solid manure in th gutters uu der th platform.
