MUST YOU KEEP A COW 87 



between the current farm price for hay used to 

 fatten beef cattle, and the final restaurant price for 

 filet mignon. Necessarily the calculation is not ac- 

 curate. But Hell's delight! It need not be. Whereas 

 thirty-six dollars will buy, complete with bottles, 

 caps, labels, and so forth, the perfume made from 

 roses for which the Bulgarian received the local 

 equivalent of one dollar, it takes about two thou- 

 sand five hundred dollars to buy a dollar's worth 

 of hay converted into filet mignon. 



There's the respect that should give us pause.
