TABLE XXVII 



SHOWING PAYMENTS FOR MILK BASED ON FAT-CONTENT OF 



MILK 



324. Weight basis or pooling method for payment of 

 milk. By this system, each patron would receive an 

 equal price for 100 pounds of milk. If the same supposi- 

 tion is taken as before, there would be 500 pounds of 

 milk delivered and the cheese sold for $10.59; each 100 

 pounds of milk would be worth $2.12. As each patron 

 delivered an equal weight of milk, each would receive 

 an equal amount of money, or $2.12. 



325. Fat-plus-two method for payment of milk. - 

 Some workers have thought that by adding two to the 

 fat test, the division of money would be more nearly the 

 true cheese-producing value of the milk. The amount 

 due each patron is figured as in the fat basis, except that 

 two is added to the fat test and this is used as the basis 

 of division. If the same suppositions were used as 

 before, each patron would receive the amount shown in 

 Table XXVIII. 



326. Comparison of methods. The best way to judge 

 the different methods' of paying for milk is to compare 

 them with the true value based on the actual cheese 

 yield as shown in Table XXIX.
