My Thoughts
And welcome to them
By JOAMMM SPAHtt
I get some interesting comments on
“My Thoughts” from time to time.
They range anywhere from com
pliments to good natured teasing to
other peoples’ versions of the same
type of events that happen to-me. For
instance, last week a Lancaster
Farming subscriber, as well as
personal acquaintance of mine, told
me a story about her Siamese
housecat. She’d read the story I wrote
on how we pamper ours, and she had
a cute story of her own to tel(.
She said that her daughter had

A tough top sergeant
glared at the rookie recrmt
and shouted, “What’s the
first thing you do when you
clean a rifle?” “Look at the
serial number,” was the
meek reply. “Why do you do
that,” demanded the ser

cleaning my own rifle,” the
recruit explained.

always wanted a Siamese, but that it
had never been feasible since the
daughter was in school all day, and
since she (the mother) was a school
teacher, and her husband a full-time
farmer. Therefore, no one would have
been in the house to take proper care
of the cat during the day. This fact,
however, never daunted the
daughter's spirits because one day
she asked her mother, again, to have
- a Siamese.
“You know we can’t," her mother
explained patiently, “because I’m
Monday, February 28. The
meeting will be held at the
Grange hall in Lewisberry at
7:30 p.m.
David M. Scott, master of
Valley Grange, said the
meeting will be open to all
residents of the area and
urged them to attend to hear
“this pertinent discussion of
current issues that are of
importance to everyone.” A
question and answer period
will follow the presentations
of the legislators, he said.
Both Hopper and Geesey
represent districts that
comprise portions of York
and Cumberland counties.
The program was

committee of Valley Grange,

man.

the day to take care of it.” Without
batting an eyelash, the daughter
came up with the solution to the
whole problem. "You could quit
teaching, you know” she said with a
smile. Yes, it seems all Siamese cat
lovers are the same - crazy.
The Patz Slurry Manure Pump provides the ultimate
solution to the moving of slurry liquid manure from dairy,
beef, hogs or poultry installations to manure
storage facilities.
The new Patz Slurry Pump can move slurry and 'liquids
up to 150 feet. The manure is supplied to an underground
hopper with a gutter cleaner or scraper and is forced

at a rate of 21 strokes
per minute.

This family, by the way, does have a
Siamese cat, now. And, whether the
mother quit teaching to take care of it
or not is something that shall always
remain a mystery, because, to tell the
truth, I was afraid the answer might
confirm my suspicions that we
Siamese lovers really are crazy.
