Show HERD SUBORDINATE TO FARM Farmer Makes Big Mistake if He Does Not Regard Cows as Assistants or Side Issue. (By DR. H. B. FAVILL.) The man who doesn't regard his herd of dairy cows, be they grade or purebred breeding cattle, as the handmaidens hand-maidens of the farm, as the assistants, assist-ants, as the side issues of the farm, and which is only a means of building the farm up to its highest possibilities, ought to fall, and he probably will. For, after all, it is the farm that counts, and not the herd that is on it. It Is the farm that makes the farmer, and not the herd. In the long run, take the country through, there will be no great breeders except those that are great farmers, because the herd Is subordinate to the farm and is used for the purpose of magnifying the fnrm. |
