NOTE. The average yearly yield per buffalo comes to 1,887 Ibs. ; the average daily yields Ibs. 

 2 oz. and the average coat of feeding the buffalo Es. 95-13-10, and average net profit per 

 buffalo Ks. 49-8-0. 



Column T. 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 

 comparison 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 in euch cases the price estimated for milk 

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

 estimating these comparative net profits per animal. 



Column 12. These figures are actuals. It may be noted that cost of feeding and attendance 

 varies with different animals according to period of lactation, size, yield of milk and individual 

 idiosyncrasies. 



Column 13. These figures are actuals for the last three years and approximate estimates for 

 preceding years.
