Show 1 V7 JUST AS YOU LOOK AT IT. The other day a farmer, who it a real good farmer too, was in the stable of the Hoard's Dairyman farm looking at the cows. Pointing to a certain cow, he asked: "What is that cow worth?" We answered: "Five hundred dollars." With a look of astonishment in his face, he replied: re-plied: "I wouldn't give that for the best cow on earth." Now last spring we happened to know that he paid $500 for a nice team of horses. "That," he said, was all right." Then we told him the history of that cow, how she had earned in calves $700 in the six years she had been milked, besides about $500 more in milk. Then we asked him if he had not better raise his ideas about cows. "It beats all," was all he said. |
