The most valuable product of the farm is milk. During 

 the past year 243,837 quarts were produced, which at 4 

 cents per quart, was worth $9,753.00. The quality of the 

 milk was excellent. At no time during the winter had it 

 any peculiar barn flavor or odor. 



Because of the many changes in individual cows during 

 the year, poor ones being disposed of and new ones being 

 purchased, as opportunity offered or required, it would be 

 manifestly unfair to assume that the 100 cows now on hand 

 have been contributing to the whole amount of milk for 

 the whole year, and yet estimated upon that basis the daily 

 average for each day of the year is about 7 quarts for each 

 cow. As a matter of fact the number of patients in the 

 hospital rapidly increased the last quarter, necessitating the 

 purchase of many new cows late in the year.
