LESSON SIXTEEN 
THE OX AND THE COW 
eee 
Cs Ce 
Note to the Teacher.—As a work animal the cow and 
her kind are no longer of great importance in the United 
States. The demand for beef and dairy products has » 
forced each individual to do a specific kind of work and 
to do that work well. All things considered, this race has 
been the most useful of all domesticated animals in man’s 
welfare. The battle from now on will be the survival of 
the fittest in the production of meat or dairy products.
