Fig. 85. — This map shows the commercial dairying districts. The concentration in 

 the Hay and Pasture Region is much greater than that of dairy cattle (big. HZ). 

 Commercial dairy centers mav also be noted near the large cities outsid(> this region, 

 notably Philadelphia, Baltimore. Washington, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, bt. Louis, Kan- 

 sas City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. These, as also the centers adjoining .New 

 York City, Boston, Buffalo, Cleveland, and Detroit, represent market milk mostly ; 

 while the larger districts in central and northern New York, m \\iscousin, and in 

 Minnesota represent milk and butter fat sold to creameries and cheese factories largely 

 (see Figs. 86, 87, and 88). The value of dairy products consumed on the farm is esti- 

 mated by the census at about $240,000,000.
