The herd consumed daily on an average 1.99 pounds of digestible 

 protein and yielded 25.81 pounds of milk, while the generally accepted 

 standard fixes 2.5 pounds of protein as the amount needed to produce 22 

 pounds of milk. The cow Countess yielded 43.55 pounds daily, with only 

 2.36 pounds of digestible protein. The standard also fixes 3.3 pounds of 

 protein as the amount needed daily for 27.5 pounds of milk, while the 

 cow Topsy yielded 40 pounds of milk daily, testing 3.85 per cent fat, with 

 only 2.6 pounds of protein. Where the standard fails to state the kind of 

 milk, it is fair to assume that average milk is meant, and Topsy's milk just 

 mieets this requirement, and she is just unscientific enough to require 

 only 2.04 pounds of protein for 27.5 pounds of milk, while the standard 

 says she needs 3.3 pounds. 



Houston consumed daily 2.13 pounds of protein and produced 25.99 

 pounds of milk daily, testing 5.3 per cent fat, and on this basis she re- 

 quired only 2.24 pounds of protein to produce 27.5 pounds of milk, while
