368 REPORT OF THE CHEMIST OF THE 
The foregoing tables do not enable us to say which line of pro- 
duction, butter or cheese, would yield the greater profit in case of 
the different breeds. In order to determine this point more 
clearly, we present below the total value of the butter produced 
by each breed during the first period of lactation and also the 
value of the calculated cheese production. The butter is esti- 
mated at twenty-five cents a pound, and the cheese at ten cents a 
pound, no attempt being made to assign prices varying with the 
quality of the production of the different breeds.

PROFITS FROM BUTTER AND CHEESE FOR Hach BREED. 
The values below represent the differences between the food 
cost of the breeds for one period of lactation and the value of 
the butter and cheese products, as given in the table above.

From the foregoing table it appears that the Guernseys and 
Jerseys are by far most profitable for butter production, as com- 
pared with the other breeds; while for cheese production the 
Holsteins stand first, with the Guernseys closely following.
