110 FARM ECHOES. 



" Do your cows eat less than mine ?" 

 "No. I believe mine eat more than yours. " 

 " Are yours more hardy than mine ?" 

 " I used to think so, but have changed my opinion." 

 " Do yours give as much, and as nch milk as mine ?" 

 " I think mine give as much as yours, bat Jersey cows 

 give richer milk, I believe, than any others." 



" Do mine need more care and attention than yours ?" 

 " I suppose they don't need it, but they have more at- 

 tention than I give mine." 



' ' No more care is bestowed upon mine than is good 

 for them, therefore less would be injurious to them, and 

 a loss to me." 



It is not necessary to repeat any more of this con- 

 versation. Suffice it to say that the farmer alluded to 

 has changed his views, also some of his cows, and is now 

 a firm believer in Jerseys. 



Many who come to see this farm ask me if farming in 

 New England can be profitably conducted. I tell them 

 that they are on Echo Farm, so named because of the 

 many excellent echoes which abound on almost every 

 part of it, and that if they will consult these echoes they 

 will assuredly get just such information as their question 

 calls for. They have but to inquire : 



" Tell me, Echo, if farming can pay here ?" 

 Echo answers : " Farming can pay here." 

 Strange as it may appear, the more distinctly this 

 question is put, the more audible and emphatic will be 

 the answer : 



"Farming can pay here."
