* The tenth's place in the "milk" column and the tenth's and hun- 

 dredth's places in the "butter fat" columns have been eliminated for the 

 convenience of the reader. The average "percent fat," the average pro- 

 duction, and the profit or loss of the herd, however, were figured before 

 the elimination. This method not only applies to herd "A" but to all the 

 herds tested.
