132 CHEESE MAKING. 
and place of meeting to be given by the president. Special meetings may 
be called by the president, three days’ notice of the time and place to be 
given, and upon the written request of ten members of the Association the 
president shall call such a meeting. 
ARTICLE V. The division of money for cheese sold shall be deter- 
mined by the fat test of the milk, after expense of making has been de- 
ducted. The remaining amount of money shall be divided by the number 
of pounds of butter fat delivered during the time said cheese was made, 
to determine the price per pound of butter fat, and each patron shall re- 
ceive that price per pound for the butter fat delivered by him during that 
time. 
ARTICLE VI. Test Committee—There shall be a test committee of 
three members beside the secretary who shall assist the cheese maker in 
testing the milk. 
ARTICLE VII. The price for making cheese shall be one and a half 
cents per pound. 
ARTICLE VIII. The cheese maker may reject any milk that in his 
judgment will not make first-class cheese. 
ARTICLE IX. No milk will be received at this factory that has not 
been properly strained and aerated. 
ARTICLE X. These by-laws may be altered at any legal meeting by a 
two-thirds vote of the members present, providing there are at least ten 
members present at such meeting. 
The above by-laws can, of course, be changed to suit any 
particular locality or conditions. The amount of capital stock 
may be altered, or such articles changed to make them suit a 
private factory. 
263. Test Committee. 
Article VI, which provides for a test committee, is for the 
purpose of preventing dissensions. We quite often hear it 
stated that the maker reads the tests low to get a larger yield, 
or that he favors one patron more than another. Such state- 
ments may be founded on facts, but are often the result of 
suspicions. If the patrons have a committee of their number 
to see the tests made, such a committee cannot fail to secure 
justice. 
264. Quorum. 
The number that shall constitute a quorum has been pur- 
posely left out, for in such an association it is not very impor- 
tant, and might hinder the business of some meetings. The ar- 
ticle on the revision of the by-laws contains a clause that prac- 
tically names a quorum in such a case.
