Dr. Tefft wanted Mr. Boise to tell how much milk it would take to make a 
pound of butter the year round. 
Mr. Boise said from 24 to 25 pounds. May and June are poor dairy 
months, as it requires more milk then to make a pound of butter than in any 
I ether months. In October twenty-one pounds of milk are required to make 
a pound of butter. 
Dr. Tefft was called on to state what it cost him to produce milk, and he 
replied that this winter his cows were running him in debt a dollar per day : 
40 in number; 25 of the cows are in milk. 
Judge Wilcox has 37 cows, and received 22,940 gallons of milk, for which 
he received $2,787.08 ; $75.38 per cow.
