The bills received from the transportation company are also 

 checked against the receiving clerk's can record. 



The cream is next turned over to the cream department where 

 it is weighed and tested and a record thereof kept on the daily 

 cream receiving blank (Form VIII). The samples should be 

 tested in duplicate and retested if they do not check with pre- 

 vious tests of cream delivered by the particular patron. 



The individual shippers usually furnish their own cans. 

 Some creameries furnish cans for their new patrons for trial 

 shipments, but demand that the producers later furnish their own 

 cans. A ledger entry is made of cans thus furnished the patrons 

 and if cans are kept longer than the time for which they were 

 promised as a loan, then the value of the cans is deducted from 

 the cream check of the patrons. This method of collecting for 

 cans should be fully understood by the patron at the time 

 when the can is turned over to him. Other creameries are 

 willing to loan cans to all of their patrons. This latter system, 

 however, encourages negligence on the part of the patrons in 

 taking care of the cans, and the loss sustained on account of lost 

 cans is usually heavy.
