The poorest cow in herd 3 produced 6,719.1 pounds of milk, 

 containing 221.13 pounds of butter fat, while the poorest cow- 

 in herd 23 gave 1,845.8 pounds of milk, containing 78.34 pounds 

 of butter fat or, expressed differently, the poorest cow in herd 

 three produced 3.6 times as much milk and 2.8 times as much 

 butter fat as the poorest one in herd 23. The poorest cow in two 

 of the herds produced slightly more than 200 pounds of butter 

 fat, in eight herds the lowest production was between 150 and 200 

 pounds ; in six herds it was between 100 and 150 pounds and in 

 two herds below 100 pounds. The value of the butter fat from 

 the poorest cows varies from $19.58 to $55.28.
