Red, blue, green, brown, navy. An occasional white one saved for “good.” Periodically, I’ll fish one from a basement corner, or off a kitchen chair, or from the barn office, carry it in, and relieve it of the patina achieved by rubbing into the fabric cow hair, manure, grease, sticky haylage, corn dust and fly spray. Hats. Every farmer it seems has his favorite. And hats - I figure - are a lot like tennis shoes: the more “broke in” they get, the better they fit. Frankly, don’t spread it around, but some of ‘em get pretty ratty looking. Fact is, it’s probably against the law to wear some of the hats I’ve washed in my tenure as a farm wife. ‘Er, at least it probablv would be in a place called Rock Springs, Wyoming. Y’see, there’s a law there that forbids wearing a hat when milking cows which “would scare a timid person.” Some of the hats that I’ve crossed paths with would scare a courageous person. That way-out piece of legislation is just one of the many goofy regulations on the books around the country focused on in a book called LOONY LAWS, by Robert W. Pelton, and published by Walker and Co. And some of the dairy-related regulations might send all us dairymen into the lockup if they were enforced in our neigh borhoods. For instance, there’s an anti mooing law in DeQuincy, LA, prohibiting cows from mooing before 8 a.m. or after 4 p.m. On the other hand, in Kidderville, NH, cows are not allowed to moo within 300 feet of a residence. Combine those with a regulation from Colby, KS, and we’d be in real trouble. There, no cow is allowed It >0 Lancaster Farming, Saturday, September 13,1956-B5 Joyce B out at night without a bell. No doubt to help track down the culprit who’s been mooing at midnight just 100 feet from a residence. On the other hand, in West Union, Ohio, any cow found wandering around after sunset can be picked up and auctioned off. (This farm could be in big trouble on that one.) Don’t take a cow into your hotel room in Bourbon, MS, on a Sabbath day. And don’t drive it down the city streets of Upperville, VA, on a Sabbath, either. We can presume that if you do either on a Tuesday, you might escape arrest. Of course, you can ride a cow down the street - presumably any day - in Bowman, ND, as long as you don’t do it "in a violent manner.” But don’t drive one down the street in White Fish, MO, if you’re wearing a mask, because that’s illegal. Then, again, you aren't allowed to ride a cow at all in Lowes Crossroads, DE, if you’re a woman wearing shorts, who weighs more than 200 pounds. Now I say, is that discriminatory or what? And here’s where you can’t keep cows: in the bathtub of your backyard in Orwell, VT; or in your apartment in Sturgis, SD; or in a bakery in Rosette, Utah. To say nothing of the ordinance in White Horse, NM, against walking behind a cow without holding a conversation with it. One wonders what the topics of con versation would be... what does a cow like to converse about. Obviously, there have been lots of laws passed that, at the time, met some serious need in the community. It would no doubt make for fascinating reading to research some of the incidents that led to the passages of these loony laws. On the other hand, maybe it’s better if we just don’t know.
