With butter at 20 cents per pound and food stuffs at

Financial Statement. 



The farm-grown ration afforded a greater profit 

 whether we use as a basis the daily profit per cow or the 

 profit on each pound of butter ; this latter profit was 11.4 

 '^ents when the cotton seed ration was fed and 4.6 cent 

 when the meal and hulls ration was employed. 



Attention is called to the excellent record made by 

 the Jersey heifer Susan. 



Although she had calved nearly five months before 

 her experimental feeding began, yet she averaged 1.14 

 pounds of butter per day during the 28 days while re- 

 ceiving cotton seed meal. 



Average results of the two experiments. 



Taking the averages of the figures in the two experi- 

 ment we find :
