This last is important,showing as it does the financial side of the whole work. COST OF PRODUCING MILK. Commencing at Period one we find the cost to be i .65cents per quart. Changing onto Southern ensilage increases,this to cents, and in our efforts to restore the loss of yield 12 by feedingjmore meal we made milk at a cost of ,, cents. The upward tendency of the curves in periods. 3-5 show increased cost. Period 6 shows that a substitution meal instead of the grain previously fed had the effect ofmaterially reducing the cost. Period 7 marks a low cost and ahigh yield. With the loss of yield in Period 8 we note anincreased cost, and then follows several periods of dimish-ing yield and slowly increasing cost. Period 16 shows anunusual circumstance; the sudden falling off of milk wouldâ¢under most circumstances be attended by an increased cost perâ quart, but in this case both quantity and cost go down at the 13 same time. This is followed by a sharp increase both in quan-tity and cost. Taking all the results as they stand our ten cows producemilk at the following average prices : TABLE E. Food. Whole Herd.
