The figures given above should be carefully examined. They 

 show that the Holsteins have produced milk solids considerably in 

 excess of the other two breeds and that the Ayrshires and Jer- 

 seys have differed very little in this respect. This means that 

 the Holsteins have produced considerably the larger amount of 

 human food. When, however, we come to the consideration of 

 the yield of fat, we find that the Jerseys excel and that the 

 Ayrshires stand lowest in the scale. We see then, that when it 

 becomes a question of a particular kind of production from a cow, 

 the total solids in the milk cannot be taken as a standard any
