Note to the Teacher.—In paragraph 1, the relation of 
cattle raising to soil fertility is clearly indicated. The 
teacher can point out with great profit the depleting 
effect of grain farming and the restoring effect of cattle 
farming. American agriculture is full of these examples. 
It will be advisable to show the practical bearing that 
each paragraph of this lesson has on handling and caring 
for cattle.
