The state of Iowa; something of its history, its institutions, its resources and natural advantages . worth of wheat, about $350 worth offertility goes with it; that in selling a thousand dollars worth of corn,about $250 worth of fertility is lost: if the thousand dollars worth ofgrain be used to fatten beef, pork, mutton and poultry, to be sold, notover $25 worth of fertility is lost, but if it is fed to the cows, and milkand butter only is sold, not a dollars worth of fertility is lost. The pro-duct of the cow is clear money, less cost of care, keeping and preparingfor market.
