Excerpt
The coming work will be with the soil and how to get the best results from it, the improvement not only of our breeds of livestock, but of our grains and grasses, of our methods of feeding. Away in the distance we see a transformation scene in this vista just as we have seen it in our farm implements, or as we see it exemplified every day in our packing-houses. Compare the methods of the old slaughter house with those of the up-to-date packing plants of this hour. Those marvels of this age can be duplicated on the farm, but it will take study and science and patience to find the "open sesame." The Book will help more than the Plough.
