DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING DIVIDENDS IN CREAMERIES AND CHEESE FACTORIES According to the Per Cent of Fat in Milk Delivered. (S. M. BABCOCK, in "Hoard's Dairyman.") Find the amount of fat contained in the milk of each patron for any period desired, by multiplying the pounds of milk expressed in hundreds by the per cent of fat found by the test. Add together the amount of fat from all the patrons, thus obtaining the total pounds of fat delivered at the factory. Deduct the expenses of manufacture, etc., from the money received from sales, and divide the remainder by the total fat. This gives the price to be paid for each pound of fat. Multiply the pounds of fat delivered by each patron by the price; the product will be the amount which he is to receive. If it is desired to know the number of pounds of butter made from each patron's milk, divide the total yield of butter by the total fat delivered; the quotient will be the amount of butter made from one pound of fat. The fat delivered by each patron multiplied by this figure will give the pounds of butter to be credited to each patron. The accompanying table gives the butter yield from 100 lbs. of milk, when the pounds of butter from one pound of fat range from 1.10 to 1.20, and for milks containing from 3 to 6 per cent of fat. To use the table find in the upper horizontal line the number corresponding most nearly to the number of pounds of butter from one pound of fat. The vertical column in which this falls gives the pounds of butter from 100 pounds of milk containing the per cents of fat given in the outside columns. Example: A creamery receives during one month 250,000 lbs. of milk, which contained 9531 lbs. of fat; the yield of butter for the same period was 10,983 lbs., which sold for 29 cents per pound, bringing $3185.07. The expense for making, etc., was four cents per pound, amounting to $439.32, leaving $2745.75 to be divided among the patrons. Dividing this sum by 9531, the total number of pounds of fat gives 28.8 cents per pound for the fat. This multiplied by the number of pounds of fat in each patron's milk gives the amount which he should be paid. The number of pounds of butter, 10,983, divided by 9531, the number of pounds of fat, gives 1.152 pounds of butter from each pound of fat. The column headed 1.15 in the table is nearest to this ratio, and will therefore give the butter obtained from 100 lbs. of milk containing different per cents of fat. If a patron delivered 9420 lbs. of milk containing 3.2 per cent of fat during the period considered, his milk would have contained 301.44 lbs. of fat, which at 28.8 cents per pound would have amounted to $86.81. It would have In the column made 301.44 X 1.152 = 347.26 lbs. of butter. headed 1.15 in the table, opposite 3.2 per cent of fat, we find 3.68, which is the number of pounds of fat from 100 lbs. of this patron's milk. The error from the use of the table in this way will never amount to more than per 100 lbs. of milk. ounce Yield of Butter from One Hundred Lbs. of Milk, in Lbs. Lbs. of Butter per Pound of Fat. Ι.
