Other Factors Per Cow
Earnings Shown


At the beginning of this article
i was stated that one reason for
attempting these dairy cost ac.
counts was to determine whether
high average production resulted in
high average returns. 1t is interest
ing to see that four dairvmen own
ed herds which averaged over 300
pounds of butterfat per COW, and
these dairymcn earned an average
interest on their investment Of III
herds which averaged from 260 to
200 pounds Of buttcrfat per COW and
these earned an average of l0.S per
cent on the interest; the remaining
five herds averaged less than 260
pounds butterfat per cow and they
earned 81 per cent interest on the
money invested. The three dairy
men who failed 10 make wages all
owned herds which made an aver.
age production of less than 260
pounds of butterfat per cow. Ap.
parentlv it is true that high produc-
tion and large net returns go hand
in hand.
1t is possible to make many more
interesting comparisons and draw
many more conclusions from the
figures contained in this summary.
We therefore invite anyone who is
especially interested TO visit the
