Cows.

The wild cow gives just milk enough to rear the young, and then “dries up.” The modern, high-bred dairy cow does a great deal better than that, especially when she gives from seventy to ninety pounds of milk a day. But the wild cow, or one but a slight remove from her, can still be seen on a good many farms where owners hate “book farming,” and abjure and despise milk records.
