Of Curds and Whey

We are hoping to have my mother's next book ready to launch by late august. That's taking up much of my time these days.

The history of cheese making in Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry is incredibly interesting. And when I say cheese I mean Cheddar - the very best in the world. So while I'm editing and proofing this profoundly significant local history spend some time at the Cornwall Cheese and Butter Board site. I've posted these links before on the old site but the abundence of lovely green grass and the task at hand compels me to link to it again. Project information is here and the table of contents is here.

Genealogists will find the name index useful.

From The Dairyman's Ten Commandments - commandments one to six and six to ten.

Thou shalt not abuse or worry thy cow -— thou nor thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy dog, nor the mischievous boy who driveth her up; but thou shalt at all times treat her with gentleness, and allow no one to molest or make her afraid; for in the day that thou vexeth her or suffer her to be vexed there shall come a pestilence upon her, and it shall enter into her milk, and taint thy butter and thy cheese, so that it shall become a stench in the nostrils of the buyer, and he shall turn away from thee with contempt.
