A farmer who has been travelling
In Switzerland and Germany noticed
that cows were used quite commonly
for drawing loads or plowins on the
little farms Of those countries. He
found that the COWS could be worked
to a moderate extent without much re-
ducing their milk yield. and he sug-
gests that the idea be practised for
small farmers In other countries.
