116 REPORT OF THE CHEMIST OF THE 
The ration fed is a heavy one, being an excess of both nitro- 
genous and carbonaceous matter, as judged by German standards. 
The annual butter product per cow for the herd may be considered 
phenomenal when we recall that the average in the State must be 
less than 130 pounds per cow. The ration, fed in a well-selected 
herd, warrants the results, and shows what may be accomplished 
by careful breeding and judicious feeding. 
No. 10. Cambridge, N. Y.: 
Hight cows, brown Swiss breed, averaging about 1,150 pounds, 
live weight. Cows go dry two or three months, and come in 
mostly in April and May. 
Butter product average per year, 156 pounds.

The ration as shown above is wonderfully deficient in albumi-— 
noids, and the results for the herd strongly indicate that the 
addition of some nitrogenous grain food would be followed by an 
increased output and in economy of food.
