Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Cow
This little book does not pretend to be a text book 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 concern ing 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 re tains 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.
