Influence of Wide and Narrow Rations.

With these prices for feed we have calculated the cost of pro- 

 ducing 100 pounds of milk and one pound of butter with the 

 nine herds of cows used in the Connecticut investigations, and 

 find the result as follows: 



Cost of feed for producing 100 pounds of milk and one pound of 

 butter under Connecticut and Western conditions. 



It will be seen that the Connecticut farmer eifects a saving of 

 six cents on a hundred pounds of milk and two cents on a pound 

 of butter by adopting the narrow ration recommended by the 

 Station. Were the Western farmer to follow the Station' s counsel, 

 he would lose six cents on a hundred pounds of milk and eight- 

 tenths of a cent on a pound of butter.
