For the past 20 years I’ve had
little knocks at the front door and
found small bouquets there. This
year was no different as my
children followed May Day
custom.
A few more years and they’ll be
too old for this ceremony. Guess I
will have to hope for grand
children to follow this rite as the
little vases of meadow and
roadside flowers are so pleasing
to me.

suburbs -visit in our home
recently and the price of a good
dairy cow became the topic of
conversation. They didn’t realize
how much one cost and when I
said it was a sad day when one
died, a lady said, “Do they do
that?”
Do they do that! The very next
day the scavenger had to remove
two of our cows. They have
operations and die the same as
people. It is hard for us to realize
the problems with which other
people have to deal. We feel our
own are the important ones.

There are many articles
written stating the high prices
which farmers pay for goods and
their, small margins of gain.
Others compare the farmers
purchasing power to the factory
workers take-home pay. I’d like
to tell a story that has been a
favorite of mine for many years.
“Long years ago a baker took
bread each week in a long dirt
lane to a farmer who in turn sold
his butter to the tradesman.
“Many months went by and one
day the baker asked the farmer
why he was giving him a smaller
pat of butter each week.

Chair Shopping
When shopping for straight
chairs, see that they don’t wobble
but stand level on the floor. The
bracings and joint under the seat
should be solid and tight. If you
can remove the seats of an
upholstered chair by taking out
the screws, it will be easier to
recover, advise Extension
specialists at The Pennsylvania
State University.
“The farmer explained that
since he had no weights he was
simply balancing the butter on
* the scale with the ‘one-pound
loaf’ of bread which the baker
had been selling him.”
