B. Detailed Data. 



From the standpoint of logical arrangement the Detailed Data should 

 have been presented first, and following this the summarized data. The 

 reversed order, however, is intended to give the reader a birdseye view 

 of the facts before he examines at greater length the information which 

 the folloAving tables present with the necessary detail. 



Table V, besides showing the number of cows on each farm at the be- 

 ginning of each fiscal year, gives the average number of cows for the en- 

 tire year; and further, presents the inventory of cows, buildings, and 

 other dairy equipment. In each case the column headed "per farm," 

 gives the total investment for the entire farm, while that headed "per 

 cow," shows the proportionate investment for each member of the herd. 



TABLE v.— INVENTORY SHOWING THE INVESTMENT IN DAIRY CATTLE, BUILDINGS 

 AND EQUIPMENT ON TWENTY-FIVE DAIRY FARMS FOR THE YEARS 1914 AND 1915.
