A DELHI MILCH WATER BUFFALO 
This Indian buffalo cow has given over 30 pounds of milk per day. Thirteen pounds of buffalo 
milk yield one pound of butter, whereas it requires 25 pounds of ordinary cow’s milk to yield the 
same amount. In Poona, India, these milch carabaos are sold according to their milk yield, 10 
rupees being added for each two pounds of increase in yield of milk. Only eight pounds of 
milk of the Chinese water buffalo are necessary to produce one pound of butter fat. The Indian 
buffalo produces twice as much fat per pound as do ordinary cows, and the Chinese buffalo pro- 
duces over three times as much, Photograph by David Fairchild, Poona, India, Feb., 1902.
