The house is gradually
getting back to order after
enlarging the tables to serve
30 people a Christinas meal.
We’ve withstood the on
slaught of several grand
nieces and grandnephews
who only had one speed
throughout our house - and
that was fast. Quickly the
dried bouquets and trinkets
were moved to higher and
safer ground. It is easy to
forget how several two-year
olds can turn a home into a
disaster area.
Our children did help us
accomplish several things
during the holidays. They
helped their fattier lay
cement blocks for a wall at
the barn as he wants to put in
more stalls. Heavy loads of
sand and gravel were hauled
as fill from the mound which
was left in our meadow after
the big flood of 1972. The
dirty job of removing soot
from the furnace was ac
complished and the heifers
were fed their silage early
every morning.
Even the technical job of
repairing a grandfather’s
clock that no longer chimed
was completed. Jeffrey
made the clock in high
school from walnut lumber
that his grandfather had
stored. A small prong broke
off of a gear and he was able
to improvise a brass
telephone wire that seems to
work fine.
Now, we shall hope for
good weather and clear
roads so that we can start
again the routine of flute
lessons, basketball games,
pep band, etc.
Irish
Simmentals
okayed
BOZEMAN, Mont. - Dr.
H.A. Waters, U.S. staff
veterinarian, announced this
week that the U.S. Depart
ment of Agriculture has
officially recognized Sim
mental cattle registered in
Ireland as qualifying for
duty-free importation into
the United States.
Officials of USDA’s
Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS)
said recognition of the breed
by USDA permits pedigreed
animals to be granted free
entry if accompanied by
certificates of pure
breeding. The action was
taken after examining the
books of record and the rules
of entry for registration of
the Irish Fleckvieh (Sim
mental) Cattle Society,
Springhili, Carrigtwohill,
Ireland.
Recognition of Irish-bred
Simmental cattle became
effective Dec. 27, 1977, on
publication of this action in
the Federal Register.
