Quality of the milk. The inference to be drawn from the 

 figures already given is that, as far as the milk yield is con- 

 cerned, there was very little advantage from using concen- 

 trated food at all. Table XXIII. shows the average percentage 

 of butter-fat in the milk of the two lots of cows under notice, 

 and table XXIV. the average percentage of " solids not fat " 

 during the twelve weeks over which the experiment extended. 



It will at once be seen that the results from the two lots 

 are again strikingly similar. As far as the butter-fat in the 

 milk is concerned, there was no advantage whatever from giv- 

 ing the cows the extra food, the results, indeed, being slightly 

 in favour of lot II. which received nothing but grass. It is 

 interesting to observe that there were occasions when both lots 

 were under the standard in the morning, and the advocates of 

 heavy feeding will note that lot I. was in this respect the worse 

 of the two.
