Excerpt from Fifth Annual Report of the American Dairymen's Association: With Transactions and Addresses at Annual Meeting, the $100 Prize Essay on Cheese as Food, and Other Papers of Value and Internet, for the Year 1869, to Which Is Added the Annual Report of the Ohio Dairymen's Association, for the Year 1869 This matter, just alluded to, of the stage of development of the fungus, is very important and interesting, but at the same time rather perplexing, and I do not know how to make it clearer than by tak ing vou through a part of the transformations of a common fungus, with the aid of the accompanying diagram. The fact that the fun gus taken for illustration is most intimately connected with, not only the art of cheese-making, but many other practical operations of daily life, Will doubtless add to the interest of this short account of the different forms that it can assume.
