Cooperative dairy factories reshape butter and cheese
The article notes detailed records kept for milk by patrons and quality for cheese or butter. Surplus after costs is shared among patrons by milk contribution. It cites 1896 data with 57,635 patrons in 1,147 cheese factories and predicts cooperative butter factories will rise, potentially making home butter making as rare as cheese making, due to higher butter consumption.

Coats of Eggs Show Feasibility Of Low Cost Production
Poultry Keeper notes experiments in feeding and valuing eggs indicate that producing a dozen eggs at about 11 cents for food is possible when labor is unestimated, or half a cent per egg. Even with low prices profits rely on hens converting feed to eggs and not carrying soil nutrients to market.
