Home-Made Cheese.

To four quarts of sweet milk at blood heat add one-fourth of a junket or rennet tablet previously dissolved. Keep at blood heat over hot water until the curd forms; turn into a cheesecloth bag and let drip until nearly dry. Add a level teaspoonful of salt, mix thoroughly and return to the bag, which has been rinsed in warm water, and place In the press (mine is a twoquart tin paid with the bottom remover), cover with a piece of board fitted to the pail and place weights (old flat irons) on the top; press for two days; remove from* press, rub with butter, and lay in a cool, dry place; may be eaten fresh if liked. The whey, sweetened, flavored With nutmeg, and chilled makes a refreshing drink.
