Excerpt from Van Pelt's Cow Demonstration There has never been a time when the farmer could not 'boast that of all humanity he alone is really independent. To so great an extent has this been true and so well has it generally become known among agricu'lturists that there is a likelihood that the farmer has grown careless to a degree and in his strife for higher prices has overlooked a very important point; namely, that a dollar saved in the cost of producing 100 pounds of any commodity is, in reality, a dollar made, and probably the easiest dollar that could be made upon the farm.
