Animal husbandry is the sure foundation of profitable, permanent agriculture. Where many
animals are kept and their manure properly cared for and returned to the land, the soil becomes
richer and crop-production steadily increases. And the farmer grows rich with his land.
Further, the keeping of live stock distributes the farm labor and the farm income over the entire
year. This is true whether meat, milk or eggs are the money crops. And certainly both factors
are worthy of consideration from a straight business standpoint. With labor as valuable as it is
at present, lost time cuts into the profits. And when the income is regular, not concentrated in a
short period or dependent upon the success of a single crop, the matter of farm finance is much
simplified.
Consider the richest and most desirable agricultural sections of our great land. With very few
exceptions, the best and most valuable farms are those which are heavily stocked with
domestic animals. Here, too, are found the finest farm homes, the most prosperous and
contented farm families. And this fact, which is so well established that it requires no
argument, plainly shows that
animal husbandry pays
.
In the following pages you will find much valuable information regarding the proper care—in
health and sickness—of horses, cattle, swine, sheep and poultry.
We trust, and believe that you will find it most helpful in connection with your work. That it
will enable you to be more successful, earn bigger profits.
Right at the start we wish to emphasize two facts which are really fundamental and which are
recognized by the most successful stock keepers. The first is this: It does not pay to keep scrub
stock, animals which cannot under any conditions give the big returns. The second: No animal,
regardless of breeding, can do its best work unless it is kept in perfect physical condition.
