NOTE 



/N this book it has been my earnest desire and 

 aim to present the dairy industry in a simple, 

 practical manner, in the hope of benefiting those 

 desirous of improving and succeeding in their 

 chosen occupation. I have " been a-gathering this 

 for years, a little at a time." It would be impossi- 

 ble for me to mention personally and to thank the 

 many who have contributed to my store of knowl- 

 edge. I am sincerely grateful to all. My happi- 

 est thought is that the knowledge I have acquired 

 I hereby have the opportunity to give to others, 

 that they in turn may be inspired to better work, 

 receive more remuneration, and find a broader 

 field of happiness in their labor.
