Average daily flow of milk from the twenty-one cows, in pounds and hundredths, . 14.73 

 Average number of days after calving, 175.09 



Twenty-one cows, in this trial, gave daily 309.37 pounds of milk. In 20 days, their yield wag 

 6,187.40 pounds. The feed was pasture grass, and twenty pounds each cow, daily, of green corn 

 fodder. The corn fodder was considered by the Committee to no more than make up for the defi- 

 ciency, occasioned by the dry weather, in the pasture feed, and the cost would probably be no more 

 than grass. So the cost of keeping would be $1.43 each cow, for 20 daj'S, or .¥30.03 for twenty-one 

 cows 20 days, making the cost of the milk in thi.s trial, 4.85 cents the gallon of ten pounds. 



The cows, iu this trial, gained 142 pounds in weight.
