A cream ripener. able because of the strong odor, which taints the butter if it comes in contact with the milk, cream or butter. The pipes conducting steam and water should be of ample size and jacketed with coverings to decrease condensation and change of temperature. All valves should be of a kind that are quickly and easily repaired without removing from the pipe lines. Organization. Creameries may be proprietary, joint stock company, or cooperative. In the first, the owner usually buys the milk and returns the skimmed milk, in other instances buying the whole milk and making the skimmed milk into cheese—Cottage or baker's cheese,—or casein. Sometimes the same price is paid for all qual- ities of milk, but usually the milk is tested and the fat contained in the milk is paid for. This is the more just way. The but- ter may also be made and sold for a certain price per pound. A joint stock company may buy the milk or make the butter in either of the above ways. The cooperative creamery is owned by the farm- ers who bring the milk. It is an association which has adopted certain by-laws, and elects offi- cers or directors—usually five or seven in number —to conduct the business. The board of directors elect from their number a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer and manager.

These officers have the care of the property, hire the butter-maker, secure the sup- plies, sell the products, compute the monthly payments for milk, and pay the patrons. The cooperative method of payment is to deduct all expenses from all money received for products, and. Fig. 245.

The weight of each patron's milk is multiplied by the test to o
