The greatest fact apparent at first sight is an average gain of 36 pounds of butter fat per cow the second year, and another gain of 47 pounds of butter fat per cow the third year—a total gain of 83 pounds per cow for the two years. This means a gain of 97 pounds of butter per cow in the year's production, which at the average price he has received amounts to about $ This gain is much more than the whole profit from the average dairy cow in Illinois. The above increase is known from an accurate record of the weight and test of the milk for a week at a time every nine weeks throughout the year. TIED TO THE WRONG COW.
