Guest guest Posted May 4, 2002 Report Share Posted May 4, 2002 I'm rereading The Yearling for the first time since junior high, and came across this tidbit. It's extremely hot, dry weather, and . " Ma Baxter needed rain-water, too, to clabber the milk. The milk turned rankly sour in the heat but would not clabber. In hot weather, she always depended on a few drops of rain-water to clabber it, and at every shower would send Jody to a hickory tree to catch some, for rain-water dripped from a hickory was best for the purpose.
