pastures grazed cattle showed effect years of
full breeding The other the kind of farm that in the old
days would have been known Farmer Sack place. In it's
pastures nondescrpt cowshe kind that many far
still keep but that do very little toward keeping the

The for these two stage farms side by sde
evidenhe striking contrast of abundance and poverty
phazed the difference in what be expected from good
