Modern Cows Leod
Factory Existence
Efficiency Ratings,
Production Counts
In this modern day the life of
a cow has become a factory ex
istence. They have cafeterias, ef
ficiency ratings, ana productii n
quotas.
Cow cafeterias deliver break
fast of cut green grass. Overhead
feeding devices, for all the world
like automat restaurants, dole out
scientifically measured rations cf
hay and grain.
When allc wed to eat out. the
cows are chaperoned by charged
wires and accordion pastures.
Like factory workers coming off
a shift, cows have hot shower
baths. Dairy farm loafing barns
and stainless steel milking sheds
with electric milking machines
are nothing more than industrial
processing plants
Assembly line living for dairy
cows reaches the acme of mod
ernity m the Los Angeles milk
This is a typical cow cafeteria
that has turned the life of a mod
ern milk producer into a factory
existence. Efficiency and clean
liness is of top importance in
modern milk production.
*hed. where a farmer speaks of
a cow as he would a machine.
There the herds never see rolling
meadows, but live in corrals. They
get "shogun feedings" of orange
and beet pulp, copra meal, mo
lasses and grains—all of it calcu
lated to be transformed into milk
as quickly and efficiently as
possible.
As to those efficiency reports,
*s long as a production line cow
turns out about four gallons of
milk a day, she is kept on the
payroll, but few can stand the
pace for more than two years.
When she fails to meet her quota,
*he is fired.
HOMEMAKERS CLUB
NOTES
Butte Club
The Butte Homemakers’ club
net at Butte Hall and in spite of
he rain and a small attendance,
had a very good time.
At first some of us were dis
couraged because so few were
present but we began to add up
our accomplishments for the year
and were again inspired and drew
%
a conclusion that our club was
very worth while, after all.
Our booth for the fair was dis
cussed. We also found out that
one from our group is trying to
write a creed for the Homemak
ers of Alaska.
A nominating committee was )
appointed consisting of Airs. Peg
gy McKechrie. Diana McKeehnie
and Esther Gallagher.
We waited for Pat Murphy to g
come and show us some eduea- B
tional pictures sponsored by the ^
Alaska Health Department but ||
he didn't arrive, so maybe we
can see them sometime later.
We decided to ask Dr. Lee Me- jj
Kinley to come and talk with us. p
We all felt sorry to hear that he j >
had been ousted from Alaska '
Dental Society.
Our grab bags were sold and ]
we hone someone will bring more '
to our next meeting.
We missed those that weren't I
there, so come on gals, leave your j
homework and worries for a
while and come and laugh and
work with us. All women in the
Butte area are invited to bring
a pot luck dish and come to i
Butte Hall at 11 a.m. on Sept, j
