^ ^ 0 . 5 How much per pound is a fair compen¬ 
sation for making butter, including salt, packages, etc., 
and how much additional for marketing.” 
Thomas Bishop said the price now paid seemed too 
high. He had no experience as a manufacturer; he knew 
this, that his neighbor, Mr. D. Johnson, began manufac¬ 
turing a few years ago, poor; now he owns two or three 
factories and is a rich man, while all the farmers about 
him who have patronized the factories, are just where they 
were years ago. Expenses of making butter were not 
large; a little salt goes a long way in butter making. He 
believed the profits of two or three factories would buy a 
farm every year.
