given succulent feed they give from 30 to 50 pounds of milk a 

 day. These cows have a lactation period of from eight to twelve 

 months. How well the flow of milk is kept up throughout the 

 lactation period is not known. 



Buffalo milk is pure white, with absolutely no tint of yellow. 

 Cream and butter made from it are rather oily and have but a 

 faint tint of yellow. By mixing European cows' cream with 

 the buffalo cream and using vegetable butter color the color 

 and the texture can be greatly improved.
