CHEESE V. BUTTER VALUES
A PONGAROA EXPERIENCE
Mr C. J. Billipgton, dairy factory manager, exhibited at the Pongaroa Show last week an entry of cheddar cheese, representing one day's make at his factory. Accompanying the exhibit was an interesting table showing the butter fat contents of the cheese and what the one day's output would have realised had it been made into commercial butter in comparison with its market value as cheese. The calculation is made at per cow. The price paid to suppliers last season after all charges were deducted, worked out'at lid per lb of butter fat. Thus 26 cows on last season's fat averaged 2891b« of butter' fat per cow at lid, being a total for 26 cows of £3-44 10s, or an average of £l3 os per cow at lid for butter fat- which cheese factories paid. The price paid for butter 9Jd per lb, which for 26 cows would mean £297 6s 6d, or £ll 8s 9d. I This leaves' a difference in favour of I cheese of £47 3s 6d.
