Just think of it! cow No. 24 in table II made butter which 

 cost her owner 78.5 cents! (in these tables the cost of feed only 

 is figured, but it is quite general in Denmark to figure that the

As the average price of butter for that year, 1895, was 

 23.22 cents, there was a net loss of 54.28 cents per pound, or 

 $32.56 for 1895 on that cow. 



Twenty-six out of the forty-one cows on farm A (table I) 

 produced butter at a higher price than the average price obtained 

 and the six poorest produced it at double the price of the six best 

 cows. 



Is there needed any argument to prove that farmer A had
