220  Milk  and  Butter  Tests  at  the  Liverpool  Show,  1910. 
Only  14  out  of  the  49  competing,  in  addition  to  the  prize 
winners,  obtained  highly  commended  or  certificates  of  merit, 
which  does  not  compare  favourably  with  the  results  of  the 
previous  years.

As  the  question  is  often  asked,  “ How  much  milk  is  required 
to  make  1 lb.  of  butter  ? ” the  next  table  has  been  inserted. 
It  shows  at  a glance  the  average  number  of  pounds  of  milk 
which  were  taken  at  the  last  five  Shows  of  the  Society  to  make 
1 lb.  of  butter,  under  the  heading  of  each  breed  tested,  and 
from  these  averages  the  last  two  columns  have  been  compiled, 
giving  a very  fair  estimate  of  the  outside  quantity  of  milk 
that  should  be  required  for  the  purpose.
