133 THE COW 



of the type and nationality that we wish our chil- 

 dren to grow up among? Is there a good school? 

 Is there a live church? Is there a community 

 conscience and consciousness? Is there a good 

 sized village or small city within easy driving dis- 

 tance by automobile? These may be intangible 

 factors not easily translated into terms of dollars, 

 but we cannot afford to ignore them. A man who 

 buys a farm chooses a home not only for himself 

 but, it is to be hoped, for his descendants as well. 

 Broad and smiling acres and bams that burst with 

 crops avail little if the human conditions are 

 wrong. 



A man must choose a farm not only as a place 

 where cows may be maintained and milk cheaply 

 produced and advantageously marketed but also 

 as a place where he may help rear a worthy agri- 

 cultural civilization and found an enduring and 

 contented family life.
