For several years the dairymen of

trying to impress upon the consumer
the value of milk as a food and the
cost of this milk to the farmer. Only
in recent. years has a rise in the price

a business standpoint.
Through the effodts or the dairy‘
department of our Agricultural Col-f
loge. the Connecticut Dairymen's As
socialion. the Connecticut Milk Pro-i
ducers' Association and State Board
of agriculture. 3 great deal of work
has been done both with the farmer
by instructing him in the problems
relating to low cost production of
milk and with the consumer in urg-
ing them to tise more milk and be
willing to pay for the some a fair
price for its food nutrients when
compared with the price of other
food products.
Recently some of those engaged in
agricultural extension work have
made it their first aim to demon.
strate to certain farmers that milk
could be produced at a very low
cost. It is surely worth while to en-
courage and assist the farmer in the
economical feeding of dairy animals.
but we should all be careful not to
use these few test. records as an ex-
ample to the farmer or the consumer
as to what milk can he nr'duced for
on the average farm in the state of
Connecticut. and we should also be
very careful in using market prices
or the labor and materials which en-
ter into the cost price thus obtainedl

retary was directed to prepare an

If twenty—five rows produce an av-
erage of 5,000 pounds of milk per cow
per year. a total production of 125,000
pounds of milk would be produced.
which reduced to quarts would be
58,750 quarts and would cost 3.094
Der quart. .H 6.000 pounds per cow
per year was produced, it would
mean a. total production of 70.500
quarts and would cost 3.0783 per
quart. .The latter average of 6.000
pounds is considerably above the
average production of the cows of
the state. We find by - comparison
that these figures are nearly identical
with those given us by some of our
leading dairymen.

leave $50 depreciation. We have al-
lowed six years as the period of use-
fulness. which is'more than the usual
time limit as the average goes. The
average price for barn rent is one
tained by allowing $4,000 as the cost
of the barn, which is a very low price
for barn accommodations housing
twenty-five cows. A modern barn to
of such a
dairy and sufficiently large to hold
the hay and other “roughage at the
present time, would cost much more
than. this, but we have deducted from
the present cost or the barn at sufli-
clent sum to take care of the housing
room for the calves which usually go
with a twouty~five cow dairy. leaving
$4,000. as the basis for the cow barn.
