From several years records of milk production and cost of maintenance it has been found that 2 cows must produce at least 200 pounds of butterfat or about 5 60 pounds of milk annually if she is to pay her way. This means 1 pound of milk daily for 200 days. The simus cost of maintaining a cow is close to 65 dollars if a man values this labor at 15 cents an hour. If a man wants more than a market price for feed and this bare wage he just put this time on cows giving more than 200 pounds of fat. The larger the increase over this amount the larger this way will be.
