Bought 13 lots butter ranging 25, 20, 19, 15, 12 cents; average 19 cents-lbs 210 at 19, $39 90.

Bought lard 37 lbs at 14, $5 18.

Total, $45 08.

Table butter kept entirely separate; the consumption is a fraction under1/2 ounce each person each meal; when part butter and part lard is used for cooking and the whole butter and lard bill counted together, the consumption for all purposes averages a fraction under one ounce each person each meal and the cost is 11/8 cents each.
