4.--TO PREPARE RENNET WHEY.

Get a rennet, such as is used for cheeses. Then take a piece two inches

square, or a little larger, rinse it first in cold water, then pour on

to it two table-spoonfuls of hot water, and let it stand a half hour in

a warm place. Take three pints of milk, and heat it blood warm. Then

pour in both the rennet and water, and stir it in well. Cover and let

it stand in a warm place, to keep the milk of an even temperature; it

must not be moved until it turns to a curd; then cut up the curd with

a spoon and strain it, and boil up the whey once. It is then ready for

use. If in an hour it does not turn to a curd, take out the rennet, and

put in some more freshly prepared. It will then surely curd.
