"Keeping One Cow" by Various is a practical guidebook written in the late 19th century. The book encompasses the collective experiences of several writers who share their knowledge on how to effectively manage a single milk cow, covering various aspects such as feeding, housing, milking, and overall care. It targets families and individuals interested in maintaining their own cow for milk production, emphasizing the dual benefit of saving on milk costs while contributing to the family diet. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the concept of keeping a single cow as a means to provide fresh milk while minimizing expenses. It highlights the benefits of sharing resources with neighboring families to achieve this goal. The introduction outlines the necessity for proper care, feeding with specific dietary recommendations, and the importance of maintaining cleanliness in the cow's environment. Furthermore, the text suggests practical arrangements for managing the cow's food supply and discusses the economic advantages of keeping a cow in various settings, especially for families without large plots of land. Throughout this early section, the reader is assured that with the right knowledge and commitment, keeping a single cow can enhance domestic life and provide significant savings.
