The above figures show only the money actually obtainad from 

 the sale of cream, not what the cows produced. We do not know how 

 many people consumed milk, cream and butter at home. It would 

 naturally be expected that those cows in a large herd should show 

 a better average record than those in a small herd because of this 

 home consumption. 



Notice in the above table that the smallest yearly return for 

 one cow is $33.60. This figure is not great, neither does it repre- 

 sent the entire year's earning of the cow. Her calf, raised on 

 skim milk, was worth as much as it would have been had it con- 

 sumed that $33.60 worth of fat. Moreover, pigs were fed on the 

 excess milk, which would again raise the real valuation of the cow 

 when used in a dairy manner.
