The Wisconsin Dairy Industry and Adda Howie: The Woman Who Sang to Cows
In 1914, the Arizona Prescott Journal-Miner stated that Adda Howie was "one of the most famous women in the United States." Yet few people remember her name today. "The woman who sang to cows" helped to develop the Wisconsin Dairy Industry, and became world famous as a result.
