372 Report oF THE CHEMIST OF THE 
hand, on the basis of weight alone, the poorer milk would receive 
20 cents more than it ought. Which is nearer justice, to receive 
eight cents or 20 cents more than belongs to one? But, from our 
considerations above relating to the difference in the actual com- 
position and value of the cheese, there would not be likely to be 
the difference of even eight cents on the fat-basis, while there is no 
escape from the fact that the poorer milk would always receive 20 
cents more than would belong to it on the basis of weight of 
milk alone. 
These cases have been taken because they are extreme and are 
such as would not be likely to occur in common experience, but 
questions are often asked on just such points. Where the differ- 
ences in composition of milk are less, the chance of doing any 
possible injustice in paying on basis of fat becomes proportionately 
less or practically disappears. 
In this connection we present below a table showing the 
average composition of the cheese for the different herds.
