Vandemark’s Folly

CHAPTER VI
22/35

I fed them well, worked them rather lightly, and by putting the new milk in a churn I bought at Mineral Point, I found that the motion of the wagon would bring the butter as well as any churning.
I had cream for my coffee, butter for my bread, milk for my mush, and lived high.

A good deal of fun was poked at me about my team of cows; but people were always glad to camp with me and share my fare.
Economically, our cows ought to be made to do a good deal of the work of the farms.

I have always believed this; but now a German expert has proved it.

I read about it the other day in a bulletin put out by the Agricultural Department; but I proved it in Vandemark Township before the man was born that wrote the bulletin.

If not pushed too hard, cows will work and give almost as much milk as if not worked at all.
