Quote on dairy history credits cows for human progress
A speaker asserts that much of human advancement owes to cows, arguing our reliance on cattle shaped civilization more than dogs or other animals. The remark challenges common views of pets and progress, emphasizing dairy and draft animal roles in development.
No Other Animal Works for Man Day and Night
The passage extols the unwavering work of a companion animal that gathers food by day and returns by night to aid in nourishment and manufacture. It recalls Plymouth Rock and the prairie schooner, highlighting the pioneer effort and the cow that provides milk for the babe who may become future ruler of the country.
