Dairy Herd Records. 



305 



the two herds for each period of two weeks during the year, and 

 from each we have taken the following summary which gives not 

 only the number of pounds of milk and butter fat produced dur- 

 ing the year, with the average per cent of fat, but an estimate of 

 the gross and net returns from each cow for that time. As in the 

 preceding part of the bulletin, gross returns are figured on the 

 basis of 20 cents per pound for butter fat and thirty-two dollars 

 per head as the cost of keeping a cow a year. The table hardly 

 needs any explanation. 



Cow No. 2. Record: 7978 Pounds of Milk.
