Q. — Didn't you get 25 and 35c for some of it? 



A. — Yes sir. 



I have made a tabulation shewing the difference in profit of cows 



of the same herds at Buffalo in several breeds, first showing extremes in 



in profit at Pan-American prices, r.Ed in the second column at present 



prices of feed and butter at 20c. which is about the net price received 



by creamery patrons at this time. To reduce feed to present prices I 



have added one-third to value of grain and doubled the price of hay and 



silage. This makes bran $20.00; gluten over $21.00; ground oats $25.00; 



hay $14.00 and silage $4.00.

In these days of high priced feeds, a small difference in economical 

 producing pow r er among cows which are generally called good dairy cows, 

 makes the difference between the profit and loss. 



Take the Ayreshire herd, which was considered by all who saw 



them, as the most uniform herd a&d finest representatives of their
