In the first case hay was figured at $4.82, green forage at $2.68,. 

 corn stover at 4.00 and silage at $3.50 per ton, said to be the actuaB 

 cost of production. In the second case hay was figured at $15.00, 

 green forage at $3.00, corn stover at $8.00 and silage at $5.00 per 

 ton. The cows were unusually heavy and Holsteins largely predomi- 

 nated. They gave the remarkable average of 8661 pounds of milk 

 per cow, testing 3.96 percent of fat at a cost of 4.31 and 4.98 cents- 

 per quart respectively. In case of such a herd if the farmer sold his 

 roughage to his cows at cost, the cost of producing his milk at the 

 farm would be 4.31 cents and if he secured market prices for his 

 roughage the cost at the farm --¥^©«ld be 5 cents per quart. The 

 investigator states that " no charge is made for the inve&t«ien± in the 

 farm itself or the dairy buildings and includes neither dairy apparatus,- 

 milk utensils, incidental expense, nor insurance."

 figures on a somewhat difi:erent basis which are worthy of pres- 

 ervation.' 



"The following statement represents the practice of the intelligent 

 and progressive producer who realizes the importance of cleanliness- 

 and health of animals."
