"We call atteutioii to the following points of interest : 



1. In 14 periods of lactation, representing Y different indi- 

 viduals of 3 different breeds, the profit derived from selling milk 

 was greater than that derived from selhng butter. The amount of 

 excess varied from $0.15 to $10.07 and averaged $4.07. 



2. In 30 periods of lactation, representing 15 different indi- 

 viduals of 7 different breeds, the profit derived from selling butter 

 was greater than that derived from selling milk. The amount of 

 excess varied from $1.04 to $24.80 and averaged $10.13. 



3. If we average all the results, we find that the amount of 

 profit from selling milk averaged $19.80 for each lactation period 

 of each individual, while the profit from selling butter averaged 

 $25.64 ; that is, an amount equal to $5.84 more was realized from 

 butter than from milk for each cow. Stated in another form, for 

 every dollar of profit derived from selling milk, the sum of $1.30 

 was derived from selling butter. 



2. Comparative Profits Derived from Milk and Cream.
