They have to go to the telephone and tali their grocer. He can deli Vei sweet milk, sour milk, buttermilk, powdered milk, and as we farm boys used to call it condemed, containinated., canned milk from constipated cows. Let's go back sixty years and see how Mrs. farmer got hers, In those days the log house was not too warm, She gets up about six, lights the old coal oil lamp and then the wood stove, Shavings have beer whittled the night before and in ten or fifteen minutes the house begins to warm UP. In fact, the temperature now is about zero. Outside its 2.0 be- low zero and a wind that whistles and whines worse than Jim Smith at a Walton and Moncrieff ball game. The water pail is frolen and she must nave hot water to lug to the barn. She breaks the ice to fill the kettle and then.: sweeps the floor while the kettle "biles". The old coal oil lantern is lit and with it in one hand and the tank and bowl of the cream separator along with the strainer pail half inn in the other, she steps out. The drifts are five feet deep in places but she fights her Way to the stable door. just as she reaches for the latch out goea the lantern, Well, you are inside, you set down the separator and the pail of water. Matches are kept in a tin box in the bowl behind the horses, The bowl is a sort of hole in the wall. You get there and you feel horse hair, curry Conti) and brush, hammer, cold chisel, a bottle or two of medicine three or four old buckles and some harness hilt finally you get the match box Instinct tells you Sornething is loose and its not a nice feeling expecting to be run over' by a horse or a cattle beast, An old sow or fat pig won't run over you, They run between your legs and you get a free tide before, they up- set you. You got the light going and away you go to the Walk be- hind the cows. You hang the lantern on a wire that. run s full- length of cattle row, just far, en` (nigh away from the ceiling to be Safe from catching fire. YOUt next move is to "pulp" the tur- nips, you are milking six tows and this is no easy matter. You feed them and then get the scrap- er going. Sratch and scrape all the manure down into the gutter. You, then pour the water, w1.113k is not too hot now. into a wooden pail. and with water and cheese cloth you clean six udders and twenty four teats. You are now ready to milk. Cows and women are much alike in some ways. It's because they are both fembles. This one cow, old brindle, won't let her milk down 'unless she is eating, The next one won't it she is. To make a cow go forward and a woman to step ahead You must use interesting different methods. A cow you grab by her tail about a foot from the end. Keep it close to her body and start to wind like you would the crank of an old ford. She'll move. Now, when a cow wants Something real bad she starts to bawl. So does a woman. A. woman can bawl loud- er but the cow can outlast her, She (loesn't run out of tears. Did you ever see. a teenager chewing gum and a cud chewing cow at the same time. The cow is much inure rela7;:cci and looks a lot more intelligent. Of course she can't pull the gum out of her mouth in strings ata then chomp it bact in. Neither can she blow bubbles, a really great art. We all know a cow has two stomachs. Well, any woman I ever invited to a night club for dinner is the same. She could never hold what she eats and drinks In one. We grab the milking stool, which is either a block of cedar with a strap for a handl-0' or a genuine three legged stool, always two of these legs will touch the floor at the same time, you soon . learn to balance yourself You sit do ,vn, grab a teat, and then comes a Cast that blows the Cow stable door open. and Out goes the light at the same time. When you sit detVii again old brindle turns her head along htr Side and she is saying to you as' plain as dirt, decyOU want to sit this one out or what? 'Well up you get. She has finiShed her turnips and you might 48 well what. So you pulp Softie more turnips. Good Heavens, here's the Space ail gone and not a. drop of milk yet but wilt finish milking next Week.
