...cattle-buyer's eye in history. This is hotly disputed by admirers of Gustavus Franklin Swift, who is also prominently hung. There are gentler people like Wisconsin University's goateed Dr. Stephen Moulton Babcock, to whom dairymen are forever grateful. He refused patents or profit on his butterfat-measuring Babcock Test.
