7. Money Vator or Mitx Propucep By Dirrerent Brexps. 
The final test of a cow’s value for dairy purposes is the amount 
of profit to be derived from her. In calculating the money value 
of milk, we may be guided solely by the amount of milk produced, 
: allowing a fixed price for a pound of milk, regardless of composi- 
tion; or*we may consider the composition of the milk and fix a 
price which shall be dependent upon the composition. In calcu- 
lating the money value of milk as based on its composition, we 
can use the total solids of the milk or the fat alone. 
For the sake of comparison, we, therefore, give three values for 
milk in the tables following: first, the money value of milk cal- 
’ culated on the basis of two and three-fourths cents per quart or
