QUALITY BRINGS QUANTITY

When YOU employ man to drive
your team OF the farm you do not
pick up a sway backed string halted
and spawned plug. If you did you
would live and die in the shadow Of
the same spot.
Then why should not the same far
sighted sagacity be applied to the Sc
lection OF your dairy stock?
Too many people are content to
buy dairy stock Of inferior breed and
trust to quantity to produce the
financial returns. Their expecta-
tons are seldom realized.
Quantity is quantity but it is
quality that brings the price. Quail
ity, in fact. is one of the underlying
results Of quality. and the man who
keeps up the quality invaria bly,
reaps the reward Of both quality and
quantity.
There is no economy, no spirit OF
thrift, in buying cheap dairy stock.
for a cheap COW, like everything else
cheap, is just simply cheap.
y IL the essence OF wisdom to get
COED stock and keep up the breed.
The quantity Of milk will be greater
the quality will he higher. and the
financial returns will be larger.
Quality brings quantity, in dairy
ing as we'll as in all other lines OF
business.
