...from the cities. At Illinois, Michigan State, Minnesota, Ohio State, Purdue and Wisconsin, more than 50% of the aspiring agriculturists were not raised on farms. Ohio State's William Flinn, a rural sociologist, has devised a test to measure their initial ignorance. He whimsically calls it "The Udder American IQ Test." Sample questions...
...more than a century, residents of New York City's borough of Brooklyn have been bunking into friends over on Toidy-Toid or Eighty-Foist streets or udder pernts around the place. Whether they ogled da goils, hersted da flag or simply berled in the noonday sun, they absolutely moidered the King's English. The "vulgar speech" that H.L.

A person should be able to move through his environment and absorb what is happening...
...layers of alumina and specially treated glass through which the parent substance is filtered. In the case of a parent such as molybdenum-99 (half-life: 2.8 days), technetium-99m (half-life: 6 hours) is produced, and it accumulates at the bottom of the tube (the cow's udder). The milked technetium can therefore be created only moments before it is put into a patient, and the doctor can scan its internal path while it is most active; yet within 24 hours, it will have decayed to an undangerous one-sixteenth of its former self. Since patients...
...Nebraska, showed just how easy the courses are one day recently when he outlined eight ways to dehorn calves, using wall charts of cattle anatomy. Caustic paste on a calf's horn buttons will work, he said, but it can cause sores on the mother cow's udder after nursing. Various gouges and electric burners are also effective, but Hatch advocated a saw. "There may be lots of bleeding," he told students. "If there is, you can clamp the artery. Pull it out and take hold of it. It looks like a piece of spaghetti." Outside, the students...
