Milk-contract Stipulations

Milk-contract Stipulations.

Whatever line of business is conducted at a factory or creamery, certain stipulations should be made with the farmers; and, if contracts are made for the supply of milk at a given price, it would be convenient that these stipulations should be included in the form of contract. Each contributor of milk should be required to maintain milk of a certain quality, to guarantee its purity and wholesomeness, to undertake that no milk should be sent from cows which have calved within seven days, or from cows which are unwholesome or suffering from any affection of the udder; that he will at once apprise the manager of the factory in case of disease breaking out among his cattle, or among his own family or the families of his employès; that he will supply his milk in absolutely clean utensils; that he will use foods which are approved by the manager; that he will give free admission to any person authorised to inspect his farm or cattle on behalf of the factory; that he will deliver his milk by a certain hour, as may be determined (and in butter-and-cheese factories that he will repurchase the whey or the skim-milk at such a price and in such quantities as may be arranged between himself and the manager); and that he will sell his milk by weight.
