As above stated, the inches of cream have not been measured 

 during the entire two years, but only from March 2nd, 1880, to 

 the following September. In order to furnish additional testi- 

 mony for the correctness of the figures in the above table, the rela- 

 tion of butter to the inches of cream both in March 1890 and in 

 September of the same year is given. It appears that without 

 exception more inches of cream were necessary for a pound of 

 butter in September than in March, and it is also true that at the 

 latter time the three animals mentioned were near the time of 

 "drying off."

The Food Value op the Waste Products of the Dairy. 



The food value of the skimmed milk and butter milk, which 

 are the waste products from butter making, is not sufficiently con- 

 sidered in estimating the profits of dairying. The methods 

 adopted in testing these dairy animals have made it possible to 

 secure some very definite and reliable figures in regard to this 

 matter. The table below shows these figures.
