butter fat milk shippers are do ing some figuring as to how they stand in respect to their surplus milk according to mr jos borinsky whom we contacted the cream from 100 pounds of milk testing 35 is worth around 135 at the creamery 131 if gathered by creamery truck at the farm plus 90 lbs of skim milk the farmer has left and which is generally reckoned to be worth 20c per 100 lbs the conclusion is that by keeping as much milk out of the city supply as possible farmers gain a twofold objective they stimulate the fluid milk market by not burdening it with oversupply and they help the butter shortage by sending to the creamery which seems all to the advantage of the producer has lived 83 years in the same house farm harness now is the time to check over your team harness in readiness for
