Society has suddenly
begun focusing on, the
problem of wife abuse.
While not totally unheard
of, .it’s rare to hear of a
farmer who beats his wife.
They have more socially
acceptable ways to keep the
little woman in line.
It’s called letting us
“help” around the farm.
A black and blue farm wife
suffers perhaps, not from the
fist, but from the feet
The feet might be those
belonging to a thousand
pound heifer, who the farm
wife was supposed to help
round up for a yearly cold
shot
Or, maybe it was the feet
of a three-hundred-pound
pregnant sow with an edgy
temper who took an instant
dislike to file new farrowing
pen.
It might even have been
the nimble pointy little hoofs
of a hundred sheep stam
peding to the grain and hay
filled dinner trough, leaving
our farm wife with ankle
abrasions.
By this time, if the farm
wife is not headed feet-first
to an X-ray technician, she
Let the Friendly First
make your dairy farm a
land of milk and mQney.
You know all those great things you'd do with your dairy
farm "if you only had the money?" Well, the time to do them
is now with help from the Agricultural Loan Division of the
First National Bank of Strasburg.
The Ag Loan Division is headed by Bob Badger, who really
understands your unique and complex money problems.
He'll gladly sit down with you and work out a special dairy
loan package that gives you exactly what you need. Bob will
use the Friendly First's flexible payment schedules to make
sure you get a loan you can live with...comfortably.
So for the new cows you want to add to your herd, the
up-to-date milking machinery, the bigger barn, the
additional pasture acreage any improvement or
addition contact the Friendly First's Ag Loan Division.
You'll soon have your "land of milk and money" and
some new friends besides!

trill have at least become a
critically addicted band-aid
junkie.
A band-aid will comfort a
throbbing thumb afflicted
while bending a nail over the
bam door to hold it in place
after the hingest fell'off.
Still another band-aid will
stop the flow of blood
pouring from the inch-long
slit in your arm left by an
army of razor-sharp com
leaves that attack you as you
chase those escaped cows.
And yet another band-aid
will cushion your big toe,
which you dislocated when
you kicked the disk, which
filled up with clumps of
ground, which were im
possible to remove, which
left you standing in the
middle of a field furious with
frustration.
So, you see, there are
already many rural homes
for abused wives. Trouble
is, we have to dean the
doggone things.
