TABLE NO. 4 



HERD NO. IV 



(1911-'12) 



This herd was composed of grade Jerseys and, as the records show, 

 was low in the production of both milk and butter-fat. However, the 

 cows were carefully fed by their owner, hence each one made a small 

 margin of profit. Cow number 6, however, shows a profit of less than 

 one dollar per month, which is very low. The total value of the pro- 

 ducts from this herd for the year, not including the manure or calves, 

 was $362.06. The entire cost of feed for the year was $228.79, leaving 

 a total profit of $133.24 or $22.20 per cow. Cow number 6 made only 

 one-half as great a yearly profit as the whole herd averaged. 



During the summer months the cows grazed on twenty acres of 

 ordinary pasture of native grasses. 



The following feeds were used during the year : 



Cottonseed meal $26.17 per ton 



Wheat bran 32.35 per ton 



Cottonseed hulls 5.65 per ton 



Soiling crops 4.00 per ton 



Mixed hay 11.50 per ton 



Corn stover 8.00 per ton
