which the whey was skinned The
fuel and oil cost averaged 10 cents,
and the labor cost was 2.i7 cents /,
making a total expense Of 4.47 cents
for skimming the whey from each
100 pounds Of milk. The average

private enterprise, one-half the
gross returns being given the patrons
as their share. The milk received was
l,435,2O0 pounds, but considerable
whey was not SKINNED owing to a
shutdown for repairs However,
3,943 pounds of butter were made, the
patrons share of which amounted to
$74S or 5.2l cents per 100 pounds of

Advance Preparation Advisable
Mainly owing TO transportation diff |
ficulties, il is almost impossible to get
supplies and equipment on short
notice; therefore, it behooves the fac
tories to make their decisions as soon
as possible, so as to place their orders
early
Every factory which skins whey
should have an ice supply available.
In some cases where the cream Is sold
cold running water may answer, but
the water must be very cold and the
supply inexhaustable. When the cream
is churned, ice is necessary for cool
ing the cream and butter; cold water
will not do. Right now is the season
for ice storage. Next spring after
you have definitely decided to skim
your whey it may be too late to secure
ice. Even if it is decided not to skim
ice is handy thing to have and it
will keep. Every factory should ar
range for an ice hauling bee this win
ter the sooner the better, and put up
sufficient ice to meet all possible needs
at the factory.
No expensive ice house is needed.
If no building is now available, simply
cut some poles, set them in the ground
and tie together at top and bottom
with wire. Lace up on the inside with ]
cheap lumber, slabs or poles sufficient
TO hold the sawdust, and you have an
zee house which will answer very well. &
No roof is necessary.

VT. CHEESE FACTORIES MAKE
A SUCCESS SKIMMING WHEY

Burlington, VT, Feb 25-The cheese
factories Of this state have been slow
to take up whey skiming, but during
the past year, as result of educa-
tion work done by the State Depart
ment of Agriculture, several have
made start and others will commence
operations during the coming season.
That the venture is a financial success
| is shown by the results obtained at
three factories, as given out by Prof.
H. B. Ellenberger of the Dairy De-
partment, in the following statement
which is being sent to the various fac
tories of the state for the purpose of
answering some of the questions aris-
no from those which have not yet
decided what course to pursue.
Save Whey Cream
1t is essential that the whey from
chedder cheese factories be separated
for two reasons: first, the world short
age Of food products, and especially of
fats, is so great that waste or par
tial waste of any product fit for human
food is almost a crime against society
and democracy; and, second the finan-
cia returns are such that no factory
can afford to leave the whey unsepar-
ltcd. There is no longer any question
about the advisability of whey skim
ming. Butter at fifty cents per pound
is too high to feed to hogs. Fat can
be purchased much cheaper in feeding
stuffs. Besides, even if the whey is
not SKINNED, only small part of the
cream ever reaches the hog trough. |
Most of it sours on top the whey tank
and is then discarded as waste.
A Saving of Human Food
Below are given records from three
Vermont factories which just started
to skim whey during the past season.
Two of them operated for about six
months and the third for less than
four months, yet they saved almost
10000 pounds of butter for human
food. Every factory should fall into
line this coming summer and back up
the boys in the trenches by swelling
this amount by many more thousands
Of pounds. 1t can be done and with
profit to the factories and their pat
rons.
Actual Results Accomplished
Factory No. put in whey skimming
equipment and operated for about six
months, during which time l,l85,500
pounds Of milk were received. The
whey from this yielded 3,543 pounds
# butter, or about three pounds from
he whey for each 1000 pounds Of
milk. After paying all running ex-
lenses, including labor, interest and
depreciation on equipment, this ven
ure netted the patrons (the arrange
nent was co-operative) S82214, or .
"A cents per hundred pounds Of milk.
Factory No 2 equipped in the mid
lie of the season, thus actually run
ing less than four months. In this
ime, 424,300 pounds Of milk were
lede into cheese; the whey from !
'hich yielded cream containing l,57O
ounds Of butter fat or 81 pounds per
The net returns were S438.-

ounds Of milk. This was also strictly '
cooperative venture.
The cost Of equipment for these two
4ctories averaged s535. Interest and d
epreciation were figured high at 20 Z
