NOTE. Tbe average yearly yield per cow comes to 2,101 Ibs. ; the average daily yield 7 Ibs. 

 8 OB. ; the average cost of feeding the cow Rs. 95-15-1, and the average net profit per cow Rs. 67-7-10. 



Column 7. The maximum day's yield of the year is always quoted at a sale as an indication 

 of an animal's productiveness and the average of these record yields for the whole period of 

 observation is here given as affording a fair basis for comparison between the various animals when 

 in milk. 



Column 8 Gives the average for the whole period inclusive of days dry. 



Column 11. The price of milk has varied for customers from 10 to 14 Ibs. per rupee, but an 

 attempt has been made to fix a slightly higher arbitrary figure to cover cost of distribution. It 

 must however be remembered that these statements are only intended to afford a basis for com- 

 parison between animals and the figures do not give an accurate indication of the total profit or 

 loss. Sales of dairy produce in the shape of Ghee and sometimes .butter when the demand for 

 milk is very small are generally unprofitable, and an in such cases the price estimated for milk 

 is not realised in practice. Charges for supervision, etc., are also not taken into account in 

 estimating these comparative net profits per animal.
