SIXTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK — PART VI. 461 



CREAMERY BUTTER MANUFACTURED, ETC. 



The table herewith shows that from 736,373,890 pounds of milk 

 and 141,369,998 pounds of cream, 75,345,02b pounds of butter have 

 been made. It takes approximatelj' 23 pounds of milk, or a little more 

 than 3 pounds of cream to make a pound of butter. On this basis 

 the pounds of milk given would make approximately 30,000,000 pounds 

 of butter and the pounds of cream given would make 45,000,000 pounds 

 of butter. From these figures, it is seen that three-fifths of the butter 

 of the State is made from gathered cream, largely, of course, hand 

 separator cream.
