Table VI. — Cost of Food, Milk and Fat. 



was S53.38 for the cow Shadow ; the lowest $36.24 for Gem Val- 

 entine. The average cost of 100 pounds of milk was almost 

 exactly 62% cents ; the highest for any one cow being $1.48 for 

 Daisy ; the lowest 44 cents for Pet. If we consider milk to be 

 worth $1.00 per hundred weight at the barn two of the cows pro- 

 duced milk at a loss, Daisy and Gem Valentine. The average 

 cost of butter fat was 15.8 cents; the highest 27 cents for Glista 

 2d ; the lowest 11 cents for Sue. If we should consider fat to 

 be worth 30 cents per pound, which is a little more than an 

 equivalent of 25 cents a pound for butter, we should have no 

 cows that produced fat at a loss for food consumed.
