Enter Cow Mania Drawing
June Dairy Month is almost here. It’s time to enter Lancaster Farming’s annual Cow Mania
Drawing.
Select your favorite recipe, which must include a substantial amount of at least one dairy product.
Dairy ingredients include milk, cream, sour cream, whipped cream, butter, yogurt, buttermilk, ice
cream, and any hard and soft cheeses. Please check your recipe carefully. Margarine and non-dairy
substitutes such as whipped topping do not qualify as dairy products.
The recipe may be for an appetizer, dip, soup, bread, main dish, vegetable, dessert, beverage,
snack, or salad.
Clearly print or type your recipe. Be sure to give accurate measurements, temperatures, times, and
sizes of baking dishes to use. We reserve the right to disqualify entries if these guidelines are not
followed.
The difference between this contest and the weekly recipes printed is that we ask you to include a
few paragraphs about yourself and your family. Although it is not required, please include a photo
graph of your family or yourself, which we will print with your recipe. Photos will be returned if you
write your name and address on the back of the photo.
Look fora picture of the prizes in next week’s issue of Lancaster Farming. Winners will be selected
by a drawing. Although not every person can win a prize, readers enjoy the recipes and reading tidbits
of information about the contributor.'
Only one entry per family allowed. Be sure to include your name, full address, and phone number
an the recipe. If you win, and your full address is not printed on the recipe, we cannot mail you the
arize.

Send entries immediately. Deadline for the receipt of entries is June 1.
It’s the mothering time of year.
Robins haul worms to feed
screeching open mouths. Four
adorable, week-old baby goslings
paddle furiously behind their ma
jestic Canada goose mother down
on the pond. The birdfeeder stash
es of sunflower seeds are disap
pearing even faster than usual
with the constant gobbling of our
mother squirrel, obviously feeding
a nest of young furrytails.
One shiny black barnyard hen
has one tiny, downy black chick
she’ll scratch your eyes out to de
fend if you get too close to them in
the old bank bam. And a late
spring batch of calves is waiting in
the wings, their mothers growing
so wide they can barely wiggle
through the inevitable escape hole
someone will find (or create) in
the fences.
Compared to birds and beasts,
the mothering time for us humans
stretches out much longer. Even
when our offspring have fled our
nests, we try mightily to keep in
touch. Few technological ad
vances have had the impact on
keeping in touch with your mother
as has the telephone.
Most of us probably don’t call
our mothers enough. But when
you’re tired and down, up and
glad, depressed or triumphant,
who do you call? No, not Ghost
busters.
On Being a
Farm Wife
(and other
hazards) i
Joyce Bupp
You call your mothei
When you’ve just been bom and the world is new,
And people you’ve met still number few,
And hunger pains keep your naps askew
(Loudly!)
As you learn to toddle and take a fall
While climbing stairs out in the hall.
Nothing’s better when you're hurt and small
(Sobbing)
Then comes the age when you’re off to school
Some smart alec kid makes you look a fool
And it’s tough to follow the Golden Rule ... l
(But Mom, it was HIS fault!)
Soon comes a day when you get an “A”
You rush that paper home straightaway
For a pat on the back and a hug as pay
(She’s SO proud of you!)
She dreads your entering teen-age years
When no adult is as smart as your peers
But who keeps quiet about those fears? .
(Some of the time.)
At long, long last you’ve finally grown
You pack your things and leave your home
Who misses you most when you’re on your own?
(And Dad.)
So now that Mother’s Day’s drawn nigh
Though she might shed a tear, begin to cry
Pause a moment and tell her why ... you love your mother.
Call your mother. She’ll love you for it.
call mother.
call mother.
