Owing to the constantly changing
prices of feed stuffs and of dairy pro-
ducts, the ability of different COWS TO
change feed into butter fat and milk
solids cannot be satisfactorily compared
upon the basis of dollars and cents.
A new system of determining the
relative profitableness of dairy cows is
described in Circular of Information
No. 81, just issued by the College of
Agriculture of the University of Wis
consin. In this system, instead of
taking as the unit of comparison a
dollars worth of feed, one pound of
grain corn, barley, or rye) is taken as
the unit. and all other feeds are given
relative values, based upon the results
obtained in long continued feeding
trials. Thus, the amount OF feed con-
sumed by a COW in any given time can
be expressed in one number in terms
of feed units consumed, and the econ
omy of her production will be shown
by the number of pounds of butter fat
or milk solids produced from 100 units.
These data will show at any future
time how economical this COW is, COM
pared with any other COW under test.
