Ask the Old Farmer: I guess it is traditional the
country over to milk a cow from the nghthand side
(of the cow, that is) But why 7 J P, Egypt Mills, Mo
The custom dates back into antiquity It is clamed that
cows used to be rigged like goats, with only two spigots
The right hand served best for milking Even today, after
additional spigots have been added, the largest and
fullest stand at the nghthand of the milker, as he sits
Home Hints: Before scalding milk, nnse pan with cold wa
ter shake out excess water but do not dry
Prices steady to $l.OO higher with
most sales for next week delivery.
