Tae expense Of keeping cows Of poor
breed is Is great aud sometimes greater
than that Of keeping ,he best. Ii COWS are
poorly kept, the dllrrcnce Of breeds will
scarcely be- disc.rniblc by the product Of
J their milk. Some have therefore suppos-
ed that il is the food alone which makes
the odds IN the quantity ani quality OF the
milk. This supposiiion i. very erroneous.
as may be shown by feeding TWO cows Of
! I similar size, dc. nu the same food, The
one of good breed for milk, aud the other
OF a different Kind, and observing The diff
icrcEcc in the milk product. No farmer.
unless lie is very rich. can afford to keep
poor milch cows. lie might almus, rs well
keep breed Of naked sheep, such as
