128 Feeds and Feeding. 



200 lbs. of butter fat per cow, and those in the best over 295 lbs. 

 The well-fed herds returned 66 cents more for each 100 feed units 

 consumed than did the poorly-fed herds — a difference of over 22 

 per ct. in favor of the heavier feeding. 



The Scandinavian system of using feed units for studying and 

 comparing individual cows, herds, and associations, and the co- 

 operative efforts of these associations toward betterment, merit the 

 highest praise. This system is simple, easily understood, and capa- 

 ble of the widest usefulness. It should be adopted in the United 

 States.
