Just as soon as I got that old Jersey cow milked, I would be headed for Bill Mac's theater to see the Buck Roger's serial. As a young boy, milking the cow was my responsibility and our family depended on it for our milk and butter. Arriving at the barn, I found the cow with her head through the stall waiting to be fed. Good, that would save some time. 30 |
