It was my genius.

I can pick the high-percentage butter-fat cow with my eye and let the Babcock Tester prove the wisdom of my eye.

I can look, not at land, but at landscape, and pronounce the virtues and the shortcomings of the soil.

Litmus paper is not necessary when I determine a soil to be acid or alkali.

I repeat, farm-husbandry, in its highest scientific terms, was my genius, and is my genius.
