The cheese factories and creameries are buy ing and paying for what milk they nae according to the quantity of butter fat contained in tne miia. it coat a inncn to keep a poor cow aa it due a nrst-clas animal, and hence most all scrub cow have disappeared and rarely a poor one ia seen where cheese and butter factor ies have been established.
