Make Mine Homogenized

"Make Mine Homogenized" by Rick Raphael is a funny science fiction story from the early 1960s that mixes country living with weird science. It's all about a cow named Sally whose milk does strange things to the world around her. The story looks at science, what happens when we experiment, and how creative people can be when things get silly. The main character, Hetty Thompson, owns a ranch and finds out her cow's milk and her hens' eggs blow up after an atomic test nearby. The explosive milk brings scientists and the military to her ranch, causing lots of funny problems as they try to use it. They learn about the powers of the milk and eggs, but also the strange things that come with it. The story makes fun of science and shows how nature can be unpredictable, ending with the funny idea that special things can go back to normal, making everyone think about how strange life can be.
