Norr.— At the time for making the first trial other experiments which 
fully filled the cooler were begun in the dairy and this one had to be post- — 
poned or setinacoolroom. The latter alternative was chosen, and at the 
first opportunity a comparison was made of the butter yield of equal 
amounts of milk set in the cooler and on the floor in the room, undercon- | 
ditions and treatment as nearly identical with those of the thirdtrialas 
possible. February tenth to thirteenth twenty pounds of milk from each 
of seven milkings wers poured together several times and divided equally ; 
one-half was set in the cooler immersed in running water and the other 
half on the cement floor of the cool room. The time set was twelve hours — 5 
for evening and twenty-four hours for morning milk. The cream was 
churned on the eighteenth. The averages and other details are givenin 4

_This calculated on the yields of the third trial would add eleven ounces ~ 
of butter or 1.59 ounces per cow per day, which would raise the gain from ~ 
feeding silage as compared with roots to 6.03 cents instead of 2.8 cents per 
day from feed alone. P 
The cows are here considered individually and this table may sa 
be regarded as a final summary of each of the trials for both cows. — 
But when combined as in the totals and averages there is shown 
in contrast the difference in weight, food consumed, and dail 
production of milk and butter. Whis comparison is from feeding 
equal weights of roots and silage. The roots were all consume
