ouch a drop. A teetotaler is a person who never drinks liquor, even a drop. That’s the doc. "Doc" is a short and slangy word for a doctor. He doctored it all up with the brandy, the fresh milk. In this case, "to doctor up" something is to fix or change it so that it will taste better. She says, son, whatever you do, don’t sell that cow! This is the "punch line," or final line, to the joke that Buck is telling. Mama wants to keep the cows for milk, not knowing that what she really likes is the brandy that the doctor put inside the milk. I gave him a month’s rent in advance. We’re all set.
