Report of Herd " G." 



There were only five cows in this herd at the beginning of the test 

 and two of them were sold three months after the work began. The 

 strange thing about the selling of these animals was that they were good 

 cows, for they had averaged seven ane one-half pounds of butter fat a 

 week up to the time that they were disposed of. The herd was not well 

 fed or cared for, but did a very fair year's work, notwithstanding. The 

 cows were not kept in a comfortable barn, or one that was well cleaned. 

 The dairy with this man was, so to speak, a sort of necessary evil.
