The table and chairs, of heavy, shiny oak marvellously and precisely carved by machines, matched the big panels of the wainscot.
A week of wet weather at cutting time or the impossibility of getting enough men and machines in the week when it should be cut, may make a loss. But the scientific dairy man does not take that risk, nor let his cattle use up this fodder by wandering over the fields in search of tid-bits of grass or clover, or, goaded by the flies, trampling more grass than they eat and wasting their manure.
