An investigation made In Wisconsin,
shows that the amount Of butter pro-
duced In the farm dairy Ii continuAlly
decreasing and what IL produced II
generally sold direct to the consumer.
The market butter Is made In the G5
creameries Of the state. As per cent Of
which are owned comparatively By the
farmers. An important feature ID that
the cooperative creameries are the
most successful. They pay the farmer
more for his butter fat, pay the but
termaker higher wages, and sell the
product for higher price.
It costs 1.66 cents per pound Of but
terfat to get the cream to the cream
cry and 233 cents to make q pound Of
butter. The shipping charges vary
from OBS to 1.25 cents per pound, de-
pending upon the distance from the
market. The investigation brought out
the interesting fact that for every
pound Of butter sold to the consumer
the farmer received two-thirds Of the
money and the retailer one-tenth.
