So, you want a husband who
helps you out around your far
mhouse, yousay?
You want a farmer who
recognizes that you lend not one,
but two hands around the bam and
field work, keep the books, tend the
garden, raise the kids, maintain
the house and all that other
miscellaneous stuff that he takes
for granted you as a farm wife will
uncomplainingly do? And in
return, you want a farmer who is
willing to at least occasionally
pitch in to help with household
chores?
(Has she gone totally berserk,
you’re probably asking yourself by
now?)
Could be. But do I ever have a
solution for you to get him to pay a

Plunk him between a large steel
cattle gate and a 2,200-pound dairy
bull who merely wants to get into
his pen which just happens to lie
on the other side of that gate.
Do not panic when he calls home
from the emergency room of a
hospital more than one hundred
miles away and says they haven’t
admitted him yet because they are
still taking X-rays.
Consider yourself exceedingly
blessed after several calls, a few
uncertain and frightening hours in
which he has little motor and
muscle movement below his waist,
but then grumbles that they won’t
feed him and he’d like to order out

Consider yourself further
blessed when a caring and sup
portive circle of friends, neighbors
and relatives rally with prayers,
shower you with food, offer to help
pack bull hamburger if necessary
and lend you a spacious van 'in
which to haul home one very sore,
stiff, bruised farmer.
And count among your blessings
very capable farm employees and
children off on holiday vacation
who uncomplainingly pitch in and
help get the daily bam chores
completed.
Now to the housework part.
As his battered body grows less
painful each day, and he ventures
less stiffly off the cattle show bed
centered in your living room, you
may begin considering this
housework assistance part. A
farmer, though black, blue and
bruised, who manages to shuffle to
the bam, and poke his crutch in the
side of a heifer bent on stepping off
the milkers, is certainly physically
capable of unloading a dishwasher.
But you might have to remind him
of that once or twice until he gets
the hang of it.
Likewise, he can sort mail, begin
to do book and records work (once
he can sit up straight in a chair for
more than two minutes) and
hallelujah answer the telephone.
Lest this sound cruel, bear in
mind that physical therapists urge
walking and exercise to help loosen
up such stiffness and soreness.

Healthy Eating Habits: A lifelong Gift
MEDIA - A taste for healthy
eating is one of the most valuable
and enduring gifts parents can
give a child. According to
Maryetta Dorncott, Delaware
County Extension Home
Economist, it’s never too late or
too early to start. Here are some
suggestions:
• Always eat as a family. Turn
off the TV during mealtime and, if
possible, disconnect the phone.
Encourage relaxation; don’t battle
about food or anything else during
mealtime.
• Set a good example. Your child
is more likely to give unfamiliar
foods a try after watching you eat
and enjoy a wide variety of foods.
• Encourage your child to
sample a new food, but don’t force
foods on a youngster. Don’t make
the new food the price of dessert.
• Keep servings small so the
children have the satisfaction of
cleaning up their plates and asking
fnr “More please.”

The boredom of such a lifestyle
quickly takes its toll, lending him
further encouragement toward
hasty healing.
Don’t plan on your household
help for too long.
Thankfully.
• Encourage smart snacking,
keep the kitchen stocked with a
selection of healthy hunger
stoppers; fresh fruit, vegetable
sticks with a nutritious dip, raisins
and cheese with whole grain
crackers.
• Give kids a healthy start each
morning. Make sure they rise
early enough for a nourishing
breakfast. Help them to prepare it
for themselves.
The morning meal doesn’t have
to be cereal. Don't be afraid to try
an unconventional breakfast; a
peanut butter and banana sand
wich, cottage cheese with sliced
fruit, and macaroni and cheese are
all nutritious and appealing.
Involve kids in menu planning
and meal preparation. Children
often enjoy helping prepare foods
and enjoy eating them, too.
Together, choose a main dish then
let your child help shop for the
frozen food and other ingredients.
