As the quantity of butter churned out was a smaller proportion of the milk 

 than the j r ield shown by the analysis of the milk, it was thought fairer to base 

 the awards on the chemical results. The awards are based on the following 

 table, which gives each cow's score in the last column, according to the follow- 

 ing scale of points: For each pound of milk solids, 8 points; for each pound of 

 butter fat, 30 points; for each twenty days elapsed since calving, 1 point; for 

 each twenty days of gestation, 1 point.
