Cost of Milk Production.

Table I — Total Yield in One Ykae. 



It will be seen that the average yield of milk was 7,240 pounds per 

 cow and the average yield of fat 285 pounds, but it will be also seen 

 that these averages are the averages of wide variations. 



The least yield of milk was by Daisy, not quite 3,000 pounds; 

 the largest by Freddie, something over 11,000 pounds, nearly four 

 times as much. Similar variations are seen in the yield of fat 

 and as to be expected the largest yields of fat were not in all 

 cases from the cows giving the most milk though attention is 

 called to the fact that the cow giving the largest yield of fat, 439 

 pounds, was second ia milk production, 10,754 pounds, and the cow 

 giving the largest yield of milk, 11,165 pounds, was second in fat pro- 

 dnction, 418 pounds. In tables II, III and IV are giving in detail for 

 each month the total yield of milk, the average per cent of fat in the 

 milk, and the total yield of fat. In these Tables and in all the follow-
