PAYING FOR MILK FOR CHEESE-MAKING 



Calculating dividends on basis of yield and rela- 

 tive value of cheese-solids. By this method one 

 proceeds exactly as in case of the fat-basis method, 

 except that in place of the percentages of fat, one 

 uses the number obtained from the table (p. 262) cor- 

 responding in each case to percentage of fat in milk 

 and the lactometer reading. 



Calculating dividends on basis of milk-fat plus 

 two. The following table indicates the general method 

 of procedure : 



In explanation of the foregoing table, it is seen 

 that the amount of milk furnished by each patron is 

 multiplied by the per cent of fat plus two. These 

 results are added and the sum (amounting to 

 253.7) divided into the amount of money received 

 for the cheese ($45.53), giving 17.95 cents as the 

 value of each pound of mixed fat and casein (rep- 

 resented by 2 pounds of casein in 100 pounds of 

 milk). The number, obtained in each case by mul- 

 tiplying the number of pounds of milk furnished by
