MARKET MILK IN VERMONT. 
17 
year's milk production for the same season was 42 and 44.5, respec- 
tively. Subtracting the credit for manure and bedding from the cost 
of feed, pasture, and bedding in winter produced a closer correlation 
to the price received for winter milk. However, this did not prove to 
be equally true for the summer season. »

SUMMARY. 
The figures reported in this study were obtained from typical 
farms in a market milk section of Vermont. Although they show 
the requirements for producing milk in that section and may ap- 
proximate the requirements in similar sections, they do not apply to 
dairy sections where other conditions and methods of management 
prevail.
