An experienced farmer says that COW
that will not average 200 pounds of butter
per year is an absolute curse to the farmer.

farmers are keeping cows that are con-
slant source of loss to them. Careful
tests, which are too seldom made, would
show whether each COW were yielding a
profit or not, and which ones should be
disposed of.
