. The double-profit system of dairying;. Dairying. Th Douhle-Profit System of Dairying Minnesota Butter Wins the Prize Banners Minnesota co-operative creamery butter is always in great demand because of its superior quality. It always commands a premium price on the most discriminating eastern markets. It has won all but two of the seventeen prizes ever offered in interstate contests during the past 20. years, viz.: twelve prize banners offered by the National Cream- ery Buttermakers' Association in their annual com- petitions, the grand prize at St. Louis Exposition in 1904, and two International Dairy Show cups. It was chosen to suppl}^ the. Navy in 1918, the standard set being so high that the Government was compelled to come to 52 Minnesota co-opera- S^^s. One of the Prize Banners Awarded Minnesota Butter tive creameries for it. A state brand of high stan- dard butter has been established, which twelve creameries have cjualified to manufacture. Investigations made by the state have shown, too, that the co-operative creameries pay the farmer a higher average price for butterfat, or about 52 cents a pound in 1918, than the city creameries or "cen- tralizers," which rely on cream shipments, can afford to pay. A cash settlement for this is made with the farmer monthly or oftener and many of the creameries distribute their profits monthly as well. This system also gives the dairyman a practical control over his ultimate markets. The standard of fine, uniform (juality is maintained and the butter is sold as a high-grade product. The pro- ducer is in the enviable position of being the manufacturer of a trade-marked arti- cle, who produces his own raw materials at cost and controls his own prices and outlet. He reaps a harvest in the milk pall daily. He has a monthly instead of a yearly pay day—does not have to wait until fall to cash in. He pays his bills promptly and has a frequent turn-over of his working capital like any other suc- cessful business man.
