There are no official statistics of the yield of milk and of butter 

 per cow, and reliable figures are only to hand from later years. In 

 a paper read at the Winnipeg meeting of the British Association, 

 1909,2 jyjj.^ p^ j^ Morkeberg, Danish Government Live Stock Com- 

 missioner, estimates the average yield of butter by all Danish cows 

 at 80 lbs. in 1864 ; 1 16 lbs. in 1887, and 220 lbs. in 1908. 



The annual Dairy Statistics,^ giving detailed information,
