Average for all, 25.4 lbs. milk for one pound of butter. 
Considering that these cows were in a strange place and for most 
of the time during the test were surrounded by a crowd of strangers, 
the yields are remarkable. 
We were prepared, and earnestly desired to analyze both the milk and 
butter of the cows competing for these prizes, but it was not possible 
to obtain samples of the milk, and this most essential part of a test of 
this kind was necessarily abandoned. Analyses of the test butters 
from each of the cows competing are given below:
