"To begin with, the dairy cow pro- duces a greater amount of food from a given alnouut of feed consumed, than any other animal, thus making milk the cheapest as well as the best food. "There is little upkeep to the dairy cow after the purchase price, and her value to soil fertility is great. Dairy- ing has a tendency to make the farm- er diversify his crops, a system that does mlich to avoid the disasters that sooner or later follow the one-crop system of farming. "It i$ a notable fact that the sec- tions of the United States given over mainly to dairy farming are the most prosperous agriculturally.
