from common stock. The records of the past year show that the 

 entire herd of 20 made an average production per cow of 7,470 

 pounds of milk and 289.3 pounds of fat, equivalent to 361.6 

 pounds of butter, containing 80 per cent. fat. 



During the year four tests of thoroughbred herds, of one week 

 each, have been made. As the herds were under competition for 

 a prize for the largest butter production, and as a record of the 

 food consumed was made at the same time, data of considerable 

 value has been obtained in regard to the production of butter fat 

 by selected thoroughbred animals under high pressure of feed.
