Clinton News-Record, 1969-05-22, Page 10I-Ciintgn NOM -Record, Thursday, .May 2Z 1969 letter to the editor Kindergarteners :Perhaps some readers of .this weekly paper .have seen the kindergarten classes from our .school, out walking. Perhaps you wondered where they were going. We would like you to know that each time we go out, we have a definite pre -arranged destination, We would like to share with you some of our learning experiences, One of these was to the barn of William Hough, because 14 Children out of a class of 40 had never been in a barn The cows were in the barnyard when we arrived, but they a1I came in when they were called, and, when we entered, they were all tied up in their stalls. game of the things we learned about cows are as follows: 1. Cows don't bite people. 2. Cows have big soft eyes. 3. Cows can stick their tongues up their noses. 4, Cows don't hit at you with their tails when you walk behind them. 5. Cows give lots of milk. 6. Cows do not have a toilet like we do. They just go in a long hole in the floor if they stand in the right place. 7. Cows are really big — almost as big as our teacher. 8. The milk comes from a little hole, if you squeeze hard enough. 9. Cows look like they are praying when they get down on their knees to lie down. 10. You don't cut the cow open to get a baby calf out of her stomach. Mr. Hough and the teacher were busy answering such questions as:` 1. Why are the tags in the cows ears? 2. Does the cow carry her calf in that thing hanging down under her? go sightseeing 3, 'Hpw does the .ealf get out. pf the cow? 4, How -many bottles of milk would be in one cow? 5, Where ;are the horns? Why did you cut them off? 6. If you have black and white cow, do the barn cats have to be black and white too? Another trip of great interest to everyone was to the former Tom Darling variety store, now owned by Mr. and Mrs, James McCarthy. There, we learned all about budgie -raising. What we learned was: 1. A place where birds are hatched and raised is .called .an. aviary. 2. Budgies lay,their eggs on a hollow board instead of a nest. 3. Baby budgies have no feathers. They are bare — just like our mice. 4. Mother budgies lay 'one egg every other day and start to sit, on the first egg. Some nests had babies one day old — right up to 10 days old, all in the same nest. 5. When you hold a baby bird, it tickles your hand. 6. Mother birds eat the food and swallow it, and then bring it up and feed it to the little ones. 7. Baby birds have no eyes for almost a week. 8. The eggs feel like "nothing" sitting in your hand. That's how little they are. We would like to thank these two gentlemen for taking their time to show us around their buildings. We tried to be quiet so we wouldn't scare their creatures and on returning to our classes, we made a booklet of our visit. We also thank Mr. East for letting us visit his camp, while he was making maple syrup. Maybe the next time you see the class, you will join them and maybe you might learn something too. D.

In a press release this week, the federation recalls that the following resolution was passed by the directors last March: Whereas, agriculture is becoming more specialized and Whereas, more farmers are doing custom work with specific agricultural implements and hiring custom operators for their own farms (e.g. hiring spraying, custom combining, etc,) and Whereas, a farmer doing custom work can claim only 13 cents per gallon of gas used instead of 18 cents'per gallon on the custom work he does, Therefore be it resolved that Huron County Federation of Agriculture request that all gas used in unlicensed farming be eligible to the full gas rebate.
