Better Standard of Dairy and City Dairymen
The piece argues city dairy buyers select top country cows, leaving farm herds weaker. City producers push farmers to part with prime cattle, forcing overworked cows to fail and be sold for meat. This harms overall national dairy quality and calls for careful business study by city dairymen.
Knowledge and tactics of acquiring productive cows
The farmer learns to select cows in country markets by identifying real producers rather than taking readily available stock. Such buys tend to keep herds mediocre as top producers are rare and calves from poor cows seldom outperform their dams, hindering herd improvement.

Investigations by the department of agriculture show the average cost to raise a heifer in northern and eastern sections reaches about 61 dollars by the end of the second year. This includes 7.61 dollars for labor and a credit of 8 dollars for manure. The farmer cannot raise a two year old heifer worth less than 60 dollars in these regions.
