Suppose that butter will average 25

better, and that the feed is worth
$4,000 for the year. The first COW
would give return Of S+3.75, less
$40. 90 for feed would leave Il profit of
s3.75, counting that the milk, calf
and manure pays for the labor.
The second COW would give Il return
of $S7 80 for butter and would give ut
least 1900 pounds more of milk
which at 20 cents per hundred pounds,
and is worth more for feed. would
bring $500. The calf from the good
COW is also worth more, but let that
go. The return would he $3.50 less
$4,000 for feed at profit Of S55.OO OH
the same basis as the other COW made
profit of s3.75. 1t would take prac-
Ii ally fifteen l75-pound cows to make
as much profit as one 35c-ponnd COW.
