 he has at his disposal. 



Altho the creameryman may correct, by scientific 

 methods, to a certain degree, the quality of the products 

 made of unclean milk, it must be well understood that 

 high class products can only be made of a milk without 

 visible or hidden defects. 



Consequences for the Creameryman. If unclean 

 milk is received in a creamery in perceptible quantities, 

 the troubles of the operator are very great indeed. He 

 has to bear the risks, probable losses and all the troubles 

 resulting from the manufacture and sale of articles which 

 are not perfectly sound. 



He may, under circumstances, have to discontinue the 

 making of products, giving the best profits. The conse- 

 quences may be enormous and fatal for the prosperity 

 of the enterprise. 



Consequences for the Dairyman. It is self-speaking 

 that the results of the delivery of unclean milk make 

 themselves felt by a lower payment for the same. 



Enterprises, working on a co-operative basis feel 

 almost immediately the decrease in revenue, caused by 

 the sale of inferior products. Those operated by private 

 concerns may be compelled by competition to maintain 

 competitive milk-prices for a certain time, only in the 

 long run a dairyman may not expect to receive a higher 

 price for his milk than is warranted by its contents in 

 solids and its state of cleanliness at the time of delivery 

 to the creamery. 



The losses, resulting from the delivery of defective 

 raw material must necessarily fall back on the producer

Influence of Creameries on the Cleanliness of Milk 



At the time, now almost gone by, when the dairy- 

 men made butter and cheese on the farm, there was a 

 continuous endeavor to maintain the greatest possible
