During the month OF January, the Or.
ange County Creamery company received
s., 407 lbs. OF milk and made 1886 lbs. OF
butter, an increase of $500 lbs. OF milk
and SOL lbs. of butter over the month OF
December This, it will be seen, required,
on an average, a fraction over Is lbs. of
milk to make h. of butter. IL is well
that the 'churn will always
overrun the test somewhat, and this is
the case this month to the extent of $50
lbs. OF surplus butter, and for the benefit
of some who may not fully understand
how this surplus is accounted for, the fol-
lowing explanation may not be out OF
place. Suppose patron is credited with |
!, 200 lbs. OF milk and his test is 500, this |
would call for 200 lbs. of butter, when, in |
fact, there was made from his milk 220 |
lbs, for which the company received (by |
express) $50, enabling its paying the pat
ron % cents per pound, instead OF % lie,
which would be the price ii he was not |
credited with the 20 pounds in this way.
In other words, 200 pounds at 25c. amounts
10 $50, or go pounds at % 1-2c., amounts
o $50. at as broad as it is long" as the
saying goes, the surplus going simply to
Increase the price paid in the plan adopted
~ this company.
