It will be noted that the cows more than maintained their milk 

 yield with the Fourex. The slight increase of no pounds with 

 six cows in 22 days or less than a pound of milk per cow per 

 day does not prove that Fourex is better food for milk produc- 

 tion than the oil meals, as such small variations constantly arise 

 from causes outside of the feed. For example, Rothalie and Fan 

 gave nearly a pound a day more milk in the third than in the 

 first period, and this on the same ration and when they were a 

 month farther advanced in lactation.
