In Iowa have not been taught TO take

products Of the COW are dearer in winter
than summer. Labor Ia cheaper, and
food but little dearer. Besides, the COW
has TO be fed and cared for whether she
Is giving milk or not. The additional
care and food necessary TO make a COW
exceedingly profitable during winter Is
the best investment man can make on
the farm.

This will be rich food for cows, given in

The boom in business will not be 20

possible. And the COW stands at the
