214 Testing Milk and Its Products. 



of butter fat furnished by each, in the same manner as in the 

 above case, after the price of a pound of fat has been obtained. 

 The price per 100 Ibs. of milk can be calculated in the same 

 way as at creameries, by multiplying the test of each lot by the 

 price per pound of fat. 1 



Questions. 



1. How much money is due each of three patrons of a cream- 

 ery when the following weights of milk are delivered by each: 



A 5750 Ib. milk, composite tests, 4.0 4.8 4.2 per cent. 

 B 955 Ib. milk, composite tests, 4.6 5.0 4.8 per cent. 

 C 10,538 Ib. milk, composite tests, 3.23.53.0 per cent. 



(a) When 700 Ibs. of butter are sold for $200, and the cost of 

 making is 3%c. per Ib; 



(b) When the factory agrees to pay $1.00 per 100 Ibs. milk, 

 testing 4% fat; 



(c) When the operating expenses of the factory are $20 and- 

 the balance is paid the patrons; 



(d) When the factory agrees to pay 23c. per pound for butter 

 and to give a 14% overrun? 



2. How much is due a milk patron and a cream patron at the 

 same factory when the milk patron has delivered 875 Ibs. of 

 milk, testing 3.9% fat and the cream patron 380 Ibs. cream, test- 

 ing 26% fat; the factory selling 160 Ibs. of butter at 28c. per 

 Ib., and charging 3c. per Ib. for making? 



3. How much is due patrons A, B, C, in question 1, if 1800 

 Ibs. of cheese were made and sold for $200.00 and the cost of 

 making the cheese is l^c. per Ib.? 



4. When cheese seflls for 10 cents per Ib., what must the price 

 of butter be to pay the same price for milk, the cost of making 

 being l 1 /^ cents per Ib. of cheese, and 4 cents per Ib. for butter? 



1 Suggestions regarding the organization of co-operative cr< ;nu- 

 eries and cheese factories will be found in the Appendix, following 

 Table XV. Draft of constitution and by-laws for co-operative fnrtory 

 associations are also given in the Appendix. It is hoped that these will 

 prove helpful to farmers who contemplate forming such associations.
