121 CREAMERY BUTTER MAKING 



Pounds of Price per 



butter sold, pound. Amount 



Mays 86 X 26V2C = $22.79 



May 7 103 X 26c = 26.78 



Total lbs. butter 189 Total money $49.57 



At Tfy2 cents a pound for making, the cost of manu- 

 facture will be 33/2 X 189, or $6.62. Deducting this 

 amount from the total money, there remains $42.95, 

 which is the total net money due the patrons. 



Illustrating the Third Step. The price per pound of 

 butter fat is obtained by dividing the total net money 

 found in step two by the total pounds of butter fat found 

 in step one. Thus: $42.95-^-157.48 = 27.27 cents = 

 price per pound of butter fat. 



Illustrating the Fourth Step. Find the money due 

 each patron by multiplying the butter fat furnished by 

 him as determined in step one by the price per pound 

 of butter fat as determined in step three. Thus : 



51.88 X ^.2727 = $14.15 = A's money. 

 30.97 X .2727 = 8.44 = B's money. 

 74.65 X .2727 = 20.36 = C's money. 



WHERE WHOLE MILK IS RECEIVED. 



The method of calculating dividends at whole milk 

 creameries is the same as that at hand separator creamer- 

 ies except that a test is not made of each dehvery of milk. 

 Where whole milk is received a composite sample is m.ade 

 of each patron's milk ; that is, each patron is provided with 

 a pint jar to which samples of his milk are added daily 

 for one or two weeks when the composite sample is 

 tested. A test of the composite sample represents the
