My parents had a copy of the 1958 original. I recently found a copy of
the paperback in a thrift store. Guess its value has held -- I paid the
same as the cover price -- fifty cents.
It's an interesting book, and possibly folks around Barre VT could
comment on Dr. Jarvis and his theories. He tested a lot of his ideas on
the local dairy herds -- adding kelp and apple cider vinegar to their
feed.
