Multiplying the milk product by the percentages of fat, we get the 

 following : 



"We have, then, a yield of over 1.9 Ibs. of pure butter fat for a day of 24 

 hours. Granting all is recovered in the butter, at 80 per cent pure oil to the 

 pound, it would give 2.43 Ibs. of butter. At the same rate, when giving 527 

 Ibs. 9 oz., the yield of butter would be 26.29 Ibs. While this is less by 5.7 Ibs. 

 than the claim of Mr. Moore, I am more than willing to concede that the con- 

 ditions under which the samples were taken amply account for such a discrep- 

 ancy. After listening to Mr. Short's report of his examination of the milk 

 record of the herd, kept by Mr. Moore, of the condition of the weather, and of 

 the manner in which the cow was managed, I am free to state that I believe 

 that the claim of 32 Ibs. of butter in one week from Gerben 4th is entirely 

 possible and probable." 



M. E. Moore of Cameron, Mo., under date of April 29, 1889. writes: I have 

 just completed a seven-days' butter test with my imported -Holstein-Friesian 

 cow, Empress Josephine, 429 D.-F. H. B., beginning April 2, closing April 8: 



Total, 



553 Ibs. 8oz. 



25 Ibs. 14 oz. 



The following is the analysis of Empress Josephine's milk, samples of which 

 were taken at the farm in February (zero weather) by Mr. Short, sent by Prof. 

 W. A. Henry, of the Agricultural Experiment Station, Madison, Wis.: 



Empress Josephine is now milking daily from 80 to 85 Ibs.
