'SveWent IN tne average
Dairy cew.

In most lines Of agriculture the
American farmer Is most progressive
and leads the world. During the past
number OF years he has been busy In
proving his herds OF horses. hogs and
beef cattle as well as his farm equip
ment. and has overlooked the i'm
portance OF the dairy COW. Likely
this Is the reason that We find him to-
day milking cows that are no better
than the cows he was milking IS years
ago. and In many cases Of a quality
even poorer. He has considered the
dairy cow as more or less a side Is
sue and as sort OF a troublesome ne
cessity. At this time. however. with
the great Advancement in the price OF
land and the problem OF making his
farm better instead Of farming Il to
death. he has looked around him and
found that Of all farm animals the
good dairy COW Is at the present time
returning TO her owner more net
profit from her daily product. helping
In making the farm better. and that
her calves are selling for a higher
price than ever before. and at a great.
er profit than any other animal on the
farm He has found that there Is a
vast difference between the COWS tha;
he Is keeping. and in many instances
