Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Cow This little book does not pretend to be a textbook nor a treatise on dairy husbandry, for there are plenty of such books already. It is simply an effort to set down the ideas of a dairyman concerning his own business and to view the cow as a very interesting animal who after all these thousands of years of close companionship with man still retains many primal instincts and many hereditary tendencies. So we may ask the meaning of old winding cow-paths and little calves hidden in the bushes and the tragedy of the herd bull condemned to spend his days tied to a post by a ring in his nose (like Sampson, old and blind, grinding meal for his conquerers) when his place is to march proudly at the head of his obedient herd. Dairying has grown into a vast and complex and exceedingly modern business, conducted in great manufacturing establishments with white tile and steam sterilizers and pure cultures and bacterial counts; yet there ought to be a place to revive at least the memory of old farm houses under great trees and herds winding down the road at milking time, and farm women making butter in cool spring-houses or shadowy white-washed cellars.
