hence the comparison of yields from the two sys- 

 tems is a fair one and shows that both systems are 

 practicable in respect to the quantity, as well as 

 the quality, of the product produced. On small 

 farms, where it is desired to keep the largest herd 

 possible, it is necessary that every acre be made to 

 produce to its highest capacity. The above systems 

 of summer and winter feeding doubtless come the 

 nearest to accomplishing this.
