ILLINOIS DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



The cows were turned out to pasture about May 20, and as soon as 

 grass was plentiful they received no grain during the rest of the test. 

 They, however, received some forage in connection wih the pasture. 

 Green peas and oats were fed in July, and in August green sorghum. 

 It can be said that the herd was well cared for the whole year, and, more- 

 over, every cow was fed as near as possible according to the amount of 

 milk and butter fat that she was yeilding. It must be borne in mind 

 that the rations given above were fed to cows that were producing the 

 most milk and butter fat and not to the strippers. 



Cut 9. Jersey Herd C, Gave in One Year 5,498 lbs. Milk; Average Test, 

 4.48 per cent; 287 lbs. Butter; Net Profit, $34.77.
