EXAMPLE OF A FINISHED PRODUCT. 47 



The sale of a ton of butter, which is perhaps the best 

 example of a finished or manufactured product from the 

 farm, contains but 27 cents' worth of fertility. Why then 

 is it not the part of wisdom to feed the clover hay, which 

 contains as above noted, $10.55 in fertility; timothy hay, 

 $9.05; corn, $7.72, and oats, $10.27, and convert the whole 

 into a finished product butter, which when sold takes 

 but 27 cents in fertility away with it?
