  Ask Jackie — Authority: 106
  The last clothes drying rack I bought was a lightweight affair. True, I did need a place to dry clothes during the winter when my fingers got just a little cold from hanging clothes out on the line when it was sub-zero temperatures and blizzarding.

• The coppicing experiment

  During the winter of 2010-11, I started a long-term experiment in coppicing.

• Q and A: Mastitis and Canning potatoes

  
  Ask Jackie — Authority: 106
  Mastitis I have a Nubian doe that I am at the end of my rope with. We got her in early March, paid a bunch for her, and she was supposed to be gallon a day milker.

  This morning I went out to the goat pasture to check our new baby goat and couldn’t find her! I looked in the barn and around the pasture. She wasn’t with her mother.
