- For this chapter of our regional covers, Artist John Atherton paints an early morning scene in the rich dairy country of Wisconsin, where if all cows are not contented they are hard to please. It's a section as sleek as its cows, where life has a very high butterfat content. The farm Atherton chose is near New Glarus, in Green County, a town settled in 1845 by Swiss from Glarus, Switzerland. Hearing that the United States contained regions unexcelled for dairying, the Swiss town sent an advance guard to find the best spot. When the delegation selected this one, many of their townsmen came over. The chances are the investigators wrote back that here was Switzerland ironed out, a dehorned Switzerland without a single Alp.
