In doing his work the farmer must raise animals, as the world requires numerous `and varied products for food. England and this "continent consume more -food, per head of their po ulation than they did 25 years ago. Ve eat more beefsteak per head, `we eat more mutton per head and more bacon than the people of 25 ears ' a-go. Vegetable pro-- 3. ducts are rep. aced by anim products; consequently the farmer must keep animals adapted for the yielding of food, and he must necessarily keep them at a prot. A farmer who takes moreout of-his land than he gives back, is notfarming ; and a cow that eats more than it;g'ives back to him is a burden on him instead of being `his help- er. The'man who keeps a_ good cow, keeps a friend ; and a poor man "can best afford` -to keep the most cows if he keeps "them on" good food. When he learns the business of raising good~cows, then he will succeed. The world s market is never glutted with superior ,foo`d;'th'ere is often aiglut of in- ferior things in every a market and every climate, but there is seldom _a glut of su- erior food. ; and people--are-willing` to` pay or it at high prices, when they get .a chance of buying it. -From. an address by Prof. Robertson.
