For calculating the yield of milk from a herd, the follow- 

 ing figures from the herd at Coimbatore may be of use : — 



In November 1913, 22 cows in milk gave 124 lb. of milk, 

 i.e., about 5*6 lb. of milk per cow in milk. In addition to 

 these there were 19 cows dry, so that the average yield for 

 the 41 cows is only 3 lb. In March 1914, 22 cows in milk gave 

 163 lb. daily or an average of 7*4 lb. Adding 18 dry cows, 

 the average for the whole herd of 40 cows was 4'1 Id. The 

 proportion of dry to milking cows is from 39 to 46 per cent.
