Average per cent, of fat, 5.00. 



The greater profit for the year 1900 and 1901 is due 

 to lower prices of foodstuffs, more copious feeding of 

 ensilage during the winter and a better summer pasture. 

 The amount of grain in the ration usually depended 

 upon the character of the grain, the character of the 

 fodder and the condition of the animals. All things be- 

 ing the same, a well developed cow several months along 

 in lactation received less grain per 1000 pounds live
