HERD NO. X 



(1911-'12) 



*5 months record. 



The cows comprising this herd were all grade Jerseys and, as the 

 records show, some were very low producers. The herd was headed by 

 an excellent dairy sire whose dam's record at the age of 17 years was 

 660 pounds of butter. This owner realized some time ago that the 

 money spent for this sire was by far one of the best investments on his 

 farm. The offspring from this sire show constitution, dairy tempera- 

 ment, and excellent dairy form. It is to be expected, when these heifers 

 come into milk, that they will excel the records of their dams. 



Cream was sold to the local creamery at an average of about thirty 

 cents for each pound of butter-fat and the skim milk was used for feed- 

 ing purposes at a feeding value of forty cents per hundredweight. 



In connection with five acres of Herd's Grass, and forty-five acres of 

 broom sedge and Lespedeza pasture, the following feeds were used: 



Cottonseed meal $28.00 per ton 



Cottonseed 20.00 per ton 



Wheat bran 34.55 per ton 



Corn chop 26.70 per ton 



Sucrene 31.00 per ton 



Mixed hay ".7.7. .' 10.75 per ton 



Corn stover 8.00 per ton
