take all kinds of cream, in fact every
thing that is brought to them, and pay
the same price as though It was good 1t

the milk to the Capitalization plants many
OF the cans are discovered to be spoiled
and fermented so that II is impossible to
make good butter from the cream. Offlcials

is thrown back onto the creamery for II

to buy the spoiled cream the farmers would
wash their separators For this reason

the butter the condition Of the cream be-
lieving that this will lead TO making butter
from nothing but good cream.
