14 SCIENCE AND PRACTICE OF CHEESE-MAKING 



judging is done carefully and the results made known 

 to the patrons. If patrons can be persuaded to apply 

 the results of such judging to the distribution of divi- 

 dends, the work would be more effective, of course. 

 For example, a patron's dividend could be marked 

 down one cent per lOO pounds of milk for each ten 

 points his milk scored below lOO on the above system. 

 Of course, this method does not apply to cases in 

 which the milk is obviously bad when brought to the 

 factory. The only remedy in such cases is to refuse 

 the milk altogether. 



This is a matter which should be discussed at the 

 annual meeting of patrons, in case of co-operative 

 factories, when some definite policy should be adopted 

 and intelligently enforced. For a more complete treat- 

 ment of the subject of judging and scoring milk, see
