tiplied by 2.5. This method favors milk poorer in fat, making the 
yield of cheese larger in relation to the cheese-solids in the milk 
than in richer milk.

Io cents a pound is used, equivalent to green cheese at 92% cents 
a pound. 
In calculating the profit derived from selling milk in the form 
of cheese, an allowance of 12% cents a hundred pounds of milk 
is made for the feeding and fertilizing materials taken from the 
farm. The summary of results is given as follows:

COMPARATIVE A PROD tot DRL Vv hoe e ROM: SSE LELING = MILK, 
BUTTER, CREAM. AND CHEESE. 
A question of practical importance, now. often asked by dairy- 
men, relates to the form in which milk can be sold. From what 
form of product can the greatest profit be derived, from selling 
milk as milk or from selling it in the form of cream, butter or 
cheese? Several different factors enter into a complete answer of 
such a question. One of them may be cost of transportation to the 
best market. Another may be the greater relative market value
