SESSIONAL PAPER No. 15 



In calculating the value of the product, 30 cents per pound is allowed for the 

 butter and 20 cents per 100 pounds for skim milk. In reality, a considerable quantity 

 of milk conforming to the ' certified ' standard wa3 sold at $3 per 100 pounds, while 

 the price of butter ranged from 28 cents to 35 cents per pound. The cream cheeses 

 sold realized from $3.25 to $3.50 per 100 pounds milk, and Coulommier cheeses sold 

 realized from $2.20 to $3.75 per 100 pounds milk. 



However the figures chosen for calculation were regular market values and form 

 a fair basis for comparison of the individuals in the herds with each other, as well 

 as with the individuals of other herds. 



In computing these returns, the bedding and the labour in connection with caring 

 for the cows and manufacturing the butter have not been taken into account, nor 

 have they been credited with the manure made, nor the value of their calves at birth. 



All cows are reported upon that have finished a lactation period within the dates 

 of the fiscal year 1912-13. This list does not, of course, include all cows that are at 

 present in milk, as many are heifers not far advanced in their first lactation period.
