Tbs results which are given below
prove that Mr.. Maxwell was. not mis-
taken in his opinion regarding the
Value of knowing the production OF
each cow in his herd. - :..tg
At the end OF the first year; 1t was
found that the average production OF
herd of Is cows was 6,O52 pounds OF
milk, containing ia pounds Of butter.
fat The cost of feed per cow amount
ed to $4271.. There was profit OF
$4185 above the cost of feed. For
every dollar expended for feed the
average COW made return in milk
amounting to $1.98..
The best cow<in the herd, the first
year, yielded 5,s3s pounds of milk con:
tanning 26S pounds of butterfat, while
three cows were sold as Improbable
one making yield Of only $50
pounds Of milk.
During the frst year, Mr.. Maxwell
studied the records carefully, and
made plans to feed the herd for its
highest and most economical produc-
ton the next year. He found that the
production during the months of July
and August was very low. owing to
dry pastures and lack Of green feed;
also that the effect of short feed at
this time could not be overcome dur
ing the remainder of the lactation
period. The second year green corn
was. provided as a supplement to dry
pastures. AS a: result, the records
show that during the second year the
average cow produced 7,142, pounds OF
milk containing 800 pounds Of butter
fat; she consumed s47.91 worth of
feed, and made profit above the cost
feed amounting to $6976.
The highest producing cow in the
herd yielded $500 pounds of milk,
containing 4O6 pounds of butterfat.
Her feed cost s4S.62; and the profit
above the cost of feed was s115.72.
The following table gives clear
idea of the increased production, that
resulted when a careful system OF
feeding was followed:
AVERAGE Production Per Cow.
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1915-02-12

A modern system of account
ing is soon to be established in
the office of the State Comp
troller,s and the next annual re-
port of that official is expected
to be in such shape that it can
be far more easily understood
than heretofore. Comptroller
Harrington, while in the city
last week, conferred with ex-
perts who had a hand in formu-
lating the system now used by
Baltimore city and it is under
stood that he will soon start the
work of preparing new forms
and books for his Office.
The present unsatisfactory
shape of the report of the State
Comptroller is due mainly to the
fact that it is a growth, rather
than a creation. The forms now
followed are the same as were
in use 20 years ago when the
most approved methods of today
were hardly thought Of. Indeed
experts say that proper and in,
.telligible systems of public &C
counting are of comparatively
recent invention. Only a year
or two ago experts found that
the system in the office of the
Baltimore City Comptroller was
far from being up-to-date and it
has since been modernized.
