How Now, Brown Cow?
June has been designated National Dairy Month
since 1937 Long before then, cows were known as
weather prognosticators, especially for predicting
ram Old-timers expected ram when cows didn’t give
milk, when cattle wanted to he down on going out to
pasture, and when cows stretched their necks in milk
ing stalls or were generally restless
For high-quality cheese, cheese makers went by this
mle of thumb “If you will have a
good cheese and hav'n old,
you must turn'n seven times
before he is cold.” Successful
dairy farmers knew, “Cheese and
money should always sleep together
one night ” (As in. payment comes
before the cheese leaves the larder')
The cow knows not what Iter tall is worth
until she has lost it.
ta For indoor arrangements, tulips fast longest If you har
vest them when their color is visible and keep them cool.
