A lady who kept two cows to provide milk for

her household found that on occasions she had a surplus. Being conscientious by nature, she wrote to the Ministry of Food to ask how she should dispose of it. The answer she received was, " You should not draw so much milk from the cow." (I know this is true because the person who told me got it direct from a second cousin of a brother-in-law

of a daughter of the cow-owner.) JANUS.
