XVI. THE INFLUENCE OF ADVANCING LACTATION | 
UPON THE PRODUCTION OF BUTTER. 
It is proposed to discuss, under the above heading, the influ- 
ence of advancing lactation upon the various factors that are 
connected with butter-making, using, as the basis of discussion, 
the data that have been accumulated in connection with the 
comparative examination of breeds of dairy cattle. | 

INFLUENCE OF ADVANCING LACTATION UPON THE AMOUNT OF Fat 
Lost AND RECOVERED, IN BUTTER-MAKING. 
In the tables presented below, we have data giving the averages 
of the different herds of cows for each month during the first 
The data have ay been explained, so 
far as explanation is needed, under the ‘ ‘comparison of dairy 
breeds of cattle with reference to butter production.”
