THE CREAMERY PATRON S HANDBOOK. 



The average for the six years of the quality of the milk was 6.07 per cent of 

 fat. She is a typical Jersey, of a rather spare form. She is a hearty feeder 

 for a Jersey. The average total cost for food has been $45.47; for purchased 

 grain $16.48. She has not made a pound of milk as cheaply as Ayrshires, 

 although she has made it as cheap as any of the Jerseys or grade Jerseys. 

 She ranks ajt the head, however, as an economical maker of butter, it having 

 cost for food 11.2 cents a pound. The proceeds of butter sales, at prices 

 varying from 23 to 27^ cents, have averaged $103.94 yearly. The same 

 remarks concerning cost of food given under Nancy B. obtain here. 



Quite complete statistics taken by the State Board of Agriculture some 

 seven years ago show an average production per cow of about 156 pounds 

 for the state as a whole. I am inclined to believe that this figure has been 

 increased of late years, so that it probably is now 165 pounds; but this is 

 more or less guesswork.
