The Dairy-Factories of Sweden. 
pany commenced its operations. The calculation on vvxiicli the 
company was formed is abridged as follows : — 
Dollars. 
Supposing that 3 million " kannor" milk (= 1,700,000 gallons) are 
furnislial per year, and that 5^ " kannor" of milk (= 3"0 gallons) 
are requisite for the production of 1 pound of butter, 545,000 pounds 
of butter will be obtained, and sold at a price of 85 ore per pound 
(= ll'S pence per Swedish pound), which will yield 403,250 
From 3 million "kannor" milk, after deducting the cream and the 
evaporation, 2h million " kannor " of skim-milk are obtained. Of 
this milk, about 2000 " kannor " per day, making 600,000 " kan- 
nor " per year, are sold in the cajiital at an average price of 15 ore 
per " kanna " ( = 3"G pence per gallon), after deducting the commis- 
sion, which makes 90,000 
Of the remaining 1,900,000 "kannor" of skim-milk, calculating that 
2i "kannor" of milk are requisite for the production of 1 jwund 
of cheese, 760,000 pounds of cheese are obtained, making, at 22 ore 
per pound (= 3f/. per pound) 167,000 
Of the cream employed in the making of the butter, viz. 500,000 
" kannor," 250,000 " kannor " are left after the churning, making, 
at 8 lire per "kanca" (about Id. per gallon), at which price 
this buttermilk is sold in the capital 20,000 
Of the milk employed in curding, 85 per cent, is left in the form of 
whey ; consequently, of the above stated 1,900,000 " kannor " of 
skimmed milk, 1,600,000 " kannor " of whey would be obtained. 
Whey is here generally used as food for swine, considered worth 
2 ore per "kanna" ( = 5 d. per gallon), which in this case would be 
equal to a sum of 32,000 dollars ; but in this calculation we have only 
considered it as equal to the amount that may be required for fuel at 
-the branch factories, and for the covering of unforseeu expenses.
