Fertilizing Constituents. 

 [Nitrogen 15 cents, phosphoric acid SJ cents, potassium oxide 4^ cents, per pound.] 



The value of cream is that granted us from month to month 

 by our local creamery association. The station has no other 

 connection with the financial management of the creamery. 



Our presentation of financial results is based on the local 

 cost of feed alone, and docs not consider interest on invest- 

 ment and labor involved, for the reason that approximate 

 estimates on these points are in an exceptional degree 

 dependent on quality of stock and varying local circum- 

 stances. The details are embodied in a few subsequent 

 tables under the followino; headino-s : — 



1. Statement of articles of fodder used. 



2. Record of average quality of milk and fodder rations. 



3. Value of cream at creamery basis of valuation, 



4. Cost of skim-milk at the selling price of three cents per 



quart of whole milk. 



5. Fertilizing constituents of cream. 



6. Some conclusions suggested by the records. 



7. Analyses of cream. 



8. Average milk analyses for previous years.
