PAYING FOR MILK FOR CHEESE-MAKING

the use of fat alone. This method was made a sub- 

 ject of study at the Ontario Agricultural College and 

 was modified by adding 2 to the fat in making 

 dividends. 



The dividends are made in the following manner 

 under this method, using the illustration already 

 given (p. 258) for milks containing 3 and 4 per cent 

 of fat. The receipts from sale of cheese are 189 cents. 

 Instead of one patron receiving three-sevenths and the 

 other four-sevenths of this amount, one receives 

 five-elevenths and the other six-elevenths, as shown 

 thus: 



3+2=5 

 4+2=6

The results, compared with those of the fat basis, 

 are as follows for this particular illustration :

This method is based on an attempt to approxi-

 for milk. It is supposed that the addition of 2 to
