The owner of the herd calculated her cost of production at shout 2.7 cents a quart for the winter season and at 2.4 cents for the summer season, meaning an average of 2.5 cents a quart for the yen r. The milk was sold to the city trade, and for the year 11101 be netted 2.17 cents a quart for 1t, •nd In 11102 he netted 2.73 a quart for It, an •vera{. of 2.8 cents a quart net for the two years.
