DR.. Bahnsen's
Dairy Statistics.

Some facts brought out by DR..
Peter F. Bahnsen, State Veterina-
rian, during his address at the
Fair Grounds, Fitzgerald. Georgia,
on Tuesday evening, November
26th., 1912.
A milk COW giving 1000 pounds
of milk per annum, which is equiv
alent to $50 gallons of milk or an
average of about q gallons per
day for 365 d'vs, will make for
her owner a gross income of $2l3
if milk is selling at Is cents per
gallon; $258.00 at 30 cents per
gallon; $301.00 at 35 cents per
gallon and $344.00 at 40 cents per
gallon. Making an allowance of
$72 90 per year, $500 per month,
for feed, such a COW would net the
owner at % cents per gallen for
milk Slab. 90; at 30 cents per gal
lon $183.00; at IS cents per gallon
1929. 90; at 40 cents per gallon
$272O0.
Ten such cattle, which could
easily be attended to by one man,
would net the owner at prices
named respectively $1430, $3.50,
$2290 and 1920 and while in this
business, his farm will increase in
productiveness from day to day.
Let us for moment see " hat
the results would be if he kept
cattle which only produce 5000
pounds Of milk per annum, which
is approximately 800 gallons. At
25 cents this would bring S92. so
and at 80 c,nts per gallon $!11.00
at 35 cents $129. so and at 40 cents
$l48.O 90. The cost Of keeping such
COW would be but little, if any
less; the amount of labor would
be the same, SO we will figure on
these cattle the same cost of keep
ing and feeding, $1,000 per annum.
At such figures, each cow nets at
rs cents per gallon of milk $20.5O
per year; at so cents $50. 90; at 35
cents SAT. so and at 40 cents $1,000.
Can you afford to own a COW
that only produces 5000 pounds of
milk per annum9
