 will be returned to the owner. 



4. The owner shall furnish a detailed statement, at the end 

 of each month, of the kind and amount of each kind of feed fed 

 during the month. This feed may be estimated by weighing oc- 

 casionally, or by weighing out a sufficient quantity for the entire 

 month, and deducting any which may remain at the close. Blanks 

 will be provided for this purpose.

 while under test, and each cow shall be milked the same number 

 of times daily during the entire month as during the days tested. 



8. No cow in the test shall be fed condiments, condition 

 powders, or drugs of any kind during the year. This does not 

 exclude proper medical attention by a competent person when the 

 cow is ill. In such cases, a careful statement of the condition of 

 the cow and the drugs used shall be made over the signatures of 

 the owner and the person treating.
