comparing the five leading cows of
both the Jersey and the Ilolstcin herds
it took 23.57 lbs. of Holstcin milk to
yield one poOnd of butter, against
1892 lbs. of Jersey milk to pound of
butter. The Holstein butter cost in
feed little over l2c. per pound; the
Jersey butter cost in feed 0.77c. per

Trim the sinsed and matted hair.

Some retreat in which to wait
Quietly till we recover
