more notable instance of bc
nigant faith is not recorded
in the annals of the Colony.”
The idea, Bruce explains,
was that the Indians would
become herdsmen and that
milking cows would settle
them down. It didn’t work,
however, because the Indian
showed little interest in
milking cows and neglected
them, but the incident still

colonists themselves had in
cows.
In time, the cows became
much more valuable to A
merica than gold or silver,
the dream of which glinted
in the eyes of the first im
migrants. While precious
metals have their use as
wealth, their value depends
upon the true wealth of men
This true wealth is found
in the cultivation of crops,
livestock husbandry and the
manufacture of goods use
ful in human enterprises.
What the English colonists
experienced in Virginia was,
of course, also common a
mong the Pilgrims who land
ed at Plymouth in 1620.
That colony underwent the
tortures of insufficient food,
hostile surroundings and all
the rest of the discouraging
things that happened to the
Jamestown pioneers. Cows
were brought to the Ply
mouth colony in 1624 and
became a part of the per
manent agriculture there.
The realization that live
stock were an essential part
in building new colonies
came fairly soon, although
it had cost the lives of many
people to learn the lesson.
Not only did the companies
and governments sending
out the colonists begin to in
sist that cows must be in
cluded in provisions, but it
also became the general
practice to establish a com
mon in each settle
ment, a place reserved for
the family cows of the set
tlement to graze. Perhaps
the most famous of all these
areas originally set aside for
pasture is Boston Common
which today is a great park
in that city which began as
a tract of land reserved for
grazing cows.

Calving stimulates a cow to produce fat
beyond her ability to convert feed into
milk. So, during the first months of her
lactation, she "steals” milk-making nuto*
ents from her body.
It requires only 600 pounds of Pioneer
Dry and Freshening feed to repair the
body tissue used during the previous lac*
tation .to build a reserve of body con*
dition for the next lactation.. . and t°
produce a vigorous calf. t .
Pioneer Dry and Fresh, fed during
dry period, is a sound investment in
health, sustained high production, an
