SUGGESTIONS TO NEW YORK STATE DAIRYMEN. 
On the basis of the points discussed in the preceding pages, the 
following suggestions are made in the interests of those dairymen 
in New York State who produce milk for the manufacture of 
cheese: 
(1) The exclusive use of the milk-fat basis is advised, since 
it is the method which takes into consideration composition and 
quality of cheese in connection with yield of uss, thus providing 
an equitable and simple system. 
(2) The method of distributing dividends on the exclusive basis 
of the weight of milk delivered should be abolished, since it is open 
to many objections of the most serious character. 
(3) In those cases in which it is found impossible to introduce 
the milk-fat basis, any of the following methods will be found 
greatly superior in fairness to the weight-of-milk system, prefer- 
ence being in the order given: (a) Relative values of fat and other 
cheese-solids, based on yield and composition of cheese, as pro- 
posed by Babcock; (b) amount of fat and calculated casein in 
milk; (c) fat-plus-two. 
(4) The cheese-makers of New York are advised not to attempt 
to introduce any method of testing for casein until its practicability 
has been fully established beyond all doubt.
