plenty of calves the first one i e heuer arrived uavaotfuily du ing ths middle of the tlfkt but the mother was one of these unnatural fasftalas who refuses to rennjfnlrs bar offspring in cow wigiiijrt that means tha snothar would not urk her catf after it was born a usual proee4ufeend ilat you are used to cattle you have no idea what a dlffereace that makes to the appearance of a calf tha ra mating touch of the mothers tongue to as beneficial to the calf aa beauty treatment to a glamorous tnds two days later while milking was in progress partner looked at spot ty and figured her time had com or at least it was not far distant so spotty was put into a ilall by herself and left alone later that night bob went down to the barn and when he came back partner inquired is the cow all right yea answered bob spotty all right except that she has twin calve p and was spotty ever proud of her babies nothing wrong with the mother instinct there spotty a only trouble was how to divide her at tention between tha two calvas that js if she could tall one from another they are almost identical and both as spotted as a leopard being of the ayrshire variety now of course the arrival of twin calves is nothing vrry wonderful triplets are a bit more unusual but we 11 settle for twins around here what made this occasion partlru larly interesting lay in the fact tbat the mother of our new cakes was herself a twin and the grandmother had twins twice moreover in each cu the twin were heifers and thereby hangs a tale it 1 the tal or family history that makae my story the first time twin calve arrived at ginger farm an old timer advised partner to veal them dont ever keep twin heifer cal es he said you ii never get any calve from them no matter how long you kaep them it just wont happen that a all well on that first occasion mr old timer was right because ana calf was undersized and not worth keeping the other was extra big and although we kept her until she was oer three years old she never did hae a calf so eventually she went to the stockyard and i ha en t a doubt in the world she made excellent beef thrn the umr cow had tw ins again a nice average xlxe pair of heifer calxe and we krpt them mr old timer shook his hoad again you 11 rue the dav he mourned but one of those twins is the mother of our newest arrivals so vou see our twin calves are proof positive of the falsity of that old fashioned superstition that a heif er that 1 born a twin will never produce a calf well the weather i itill front page news frost cold winds snow in many plsces and basteti we had everything but the snow daughter was home for the long weekend and as she left toronto while it was still quite mild the brought only a light weight top coat with her i wonder how many other week end era were caught the same way now we are back to normal again no more homecom ers in the house so there is no temptation to sit up talking to the small hours and no more hockey broadcasts to keep one keyed up to a fever pitch now the maple leaf are out of the running we can retlie to our bed at a respectable hour and build up a little reserve energy against the tprlng rush if that time ever comes but oh dear soon there will be dav light saving 1 lime to contend with and that will upset our schedule again however with no hv dro shortage to worrr about d shouldnt be quite such a farce as it was last year that was a time to remember as if we could forget spring is also the time for new tvler in toggery end how i wish someone would get he idea that rolourwd shirts are the only smart thing for men to wear whit shlru how 1 hate them not the look of tnem of course just the washing and ironing wash them by themselves hang them by themselves iron them so carefully and yet every time i find a smudge somewhere or a scorch mark or a wrinkle in the collar mens white shirts are enough to blight a womans life there should be a law against them well thats ell for this time i friends i
