Paying $30 00 for a 200 pound cow, he will get in ten years, $182 87 ” 125 00 ” 300 ” ” ” 354 78 ” 250 00 ” 400 ” ” ” 483 49 ” 350 00 ” 500 ” ” ” 654 17 ” 450 00 ” 600 ” ” ” 811 59 Table D. On an annual cost of keeping of fifty dollars, and price of butter at thirty-five cents: Paying $30 00 for a 200 pound cow, he will get in ten years, $95 76 ” 125 00 ” 300 ” ” ” 318 39 ” 250 00 ” 400 ” ” ” 507 46 ” 350 00 ” 500 ” ” ” 744 20 ” 450 00 ” 600 ” ” ” 960 90 Assuming that each cow, costing at two years old the price named in the tables, will die at twelve years old, the actual value of cows to practical farmers, making annually the different amounts of butter named, is shown. They show what the cow will make in the ten years, and also what a farmer can afford to pay for each cow making the different amounts of butter named. They show the different amounts the farmer, who buys one of each of the cows named, paying the prices named for each of the five, will make on each, provided no interest is reckoned on the price paid for the cow, or on the butter made from her, during ten years. These figures are certainly startling to any one who has not taken the trouble to examine this subject, much more so to the farmer who never figures carefully, and does exactly as his father did before him, without regard to the altered circumstances that surround him. The farmer who shakes his head wisely at his more enterprising neighbor, and insists that cows making as much butter as is mentioned in these five tables do not live and never did, should know that the thorough-bred Jersey cows, Jersey Belle of Scituate, of the Victor family, made 705 pounds of butter in twelve consecutive months; that Eurotas, of the Alphia family, made 778 pounds of butter between November 12, 1879, and October 15, 1880, and dropped a heifer calf on November 4, 1880; that Pansy, sired by Living Storm, dam Dolly 2d, sired by Emperor 2d, made in her four year old form 574 pounds of butter in one year; that imported Flora made 511 pounds of butter in fifty weeks; that Countess made 16 pounds of butter on grass only, when fourteen years old. These well-established facts no intelligent, fair-minded man now disputes, and it is confidently believed that many more Jerseys will make as much butter as have any of those mentioned.
