The consumption OF butter in the
Whole county and adjacent tributary
districts, Is more difficult to estimate,
as many country dealers, logging
camps and large consumers obtain
their supplies direct from the outside
markets-Caliiornia and States east Of
the Rocky divide. 1t will be reason
able, however, to place 1t as much
more as we have estimated the sale here,
which would aggregate d total demand
OF upwards OF 5oO,OOO pounds OF but.
ter aggrcgating cost Of considerably
over SloO.oOo that goes out OF the
state Tor tins product alone.
IL Is estimated that the requisite
machinery Tor hrst-class creamery
VIII cost about S2OOoO, and the inter
est on that amount OF money is worth
Sl6o per month; taxes will cost $50
per month; wages OF an expert. 800
per month and an assistant $50. or a
total of $500 per month, or 1882 per
year, which incidcntals might run up
to say 10000.
The average product Of butter from
given quantity of milk is pound to
"a pounds of milk. or about =! gallons.
This amount varies greatly, however,
and though it may occasionally go so
low as B pounds Of butter to 100 of
milk, there are instances on record of
phenomenal yields, such as l0l
pounds from IA pounds Of milk, about
IA gallons, from an Alderney. which
ranks with the Jersey breed as butter
producers. Cows in this county are
MIXED about 7 months in the year,
and the average flow per day is about
3 gallons. 1t will he seen from these
figures that, with the prevailing retail
price OF butter to control, the business
OF supply OF milk or cream must be
conducted on large and systematic
scale to make it profitable. The but
termilk could be used for raising hogs,
or the cream may be extracted from
the milk by apatented process, and
the milk returned to the farmer for
feeding calves, hogs, chickens and
other stock, il strict economy de-
mands 1t, which seems quite evident.
