Ask the Old Farmer; My friend and 1 noticed that cows
out feeding in the pasture are all facing the same wav Is
there a reason for this 7 S B E , Wilton, N H
Yup especially in the coastal sections The critters swing
like a vane on the gable of a barn, to head the wind Other
wise the wind will rough up their fur and they don't like it
Home Hints An unused portion of onion will keep well if
stored in a tightly covered jar in the refngerator
