| ABOUT THE COVER |
| This issue’s cover is identical to the drawing accompanying John Silveira’s article, Where our farm animals come from, on page 18, except we’ve deleted the drawings at the top to make room for the magazine masthead. As usual, Don Childers, who lives in Colorado, painted it. It is a watercolor that he scanned into Photoshop, touched up with computer, then emailed to us as a 400 dpi jpeg. |
