ter per month is yielding more than twice
as much as the ordinary cow and we are
sure it does not cost twice as much TO
keep her. The 4O-pound COW is desirable
not simply because she is profitable but
because she is source of pride to her
owner. This legitimate pride gives him
enthusiasm for his work, broadens his
methods and aids in making him good
farmer and good citizen. The 40-pound
COW is certainly progressive influence

and influence increase and continue to
bless the land that harbors her.-St.
