Whereas, the scrub bull is an
abOminatiOn to every dairyman, /
resolve to castrate every scrub bull
calf and to urge my neighbOrS to
go and do likewise
Whereas, the pure bred bull is
blessing to every dairyman and the
blessing extends to the fourth and
fifth generations, / resolve to use
only a pure bred bull in my herd
and to aid my neighbOrs to do the
same
Whereas, the cow testing associa-
ton is the quickest, cheapest and
e:siest iaethOd of determining the
value of each COW in my herd and
one OF the best means of promoting
my interests as dairy farmer, /
resolve to join such an association
or to aid in organizing one in my
section.
Whereas, my cows respond in
milk production largely in proper
ton TO the feed and care they re-
ceive, 7 resolve to give every COW in
my herd fair chance to make
good during the coming year.
Whel cas-, the enjoyment which I
get out of life is largely in proper
tion 70 what I put into it, / re-
solve during 1920 to use in my busi-
ness what Drawn and brains I may
have, and to profit also by the ex-
perierce of those who have gone
before me.
