value as that collected at the barn. A credit of three cords per cow 

 yearly, equal in commercial value to $15.00, is as high an average 

 figure as one is justified in giving it. It is doubtful if the 

 average calf from a grade herd will bring over $2.00. Deduct- 

 ing $17.00 from the fixed charge of $73.15 one has substantially 

 $56.00 as the net fixed charge* to be added to the food cost (15.3 

 cents per day). 



*Triieman of the Connecticut (Storrs) Station gives $50. as the net fixed charge after 

 allowing $15. for manure and calf while Minkler of the New Jersey Station places the 

 amount at 1^70.22 without making the allowance. If $1$. should be deducted, the net charge 

 would be $55.22. Detailed data of these two investigations is given elsewhere in this 

 bulletin.
