Cute Easter Story.
One of the cutest Easter
stories to come our way Is the
following:
A printer at The Star has two
daughters. aged II and 6. They
decided to give Mother and Dad
a gift, for Easter.
After some discussion, they hit
upon the idea of an Easter card
with some personal touches. So
they bought a card. decorated
the envelope and addressed it to
Nom and Dad.
In one corner the children
drew a cross, and underneath it
wrote, '"The Lord has arose"
Mother and Dad were natu-
rally pleased with the gift, but
they couldn't figure out why
"arose" was used. So Dad called
the girls and asked, "Why die
you write arose? 1t should be
The Lord has risen.'"
| "Yes. Daddy" the older girl
explained, "but we didn't know
how to spell risen"

hay is thoroughly dry, it is hauled
to the barn or, stacked in larger
stacks near the barn.
Hand Work Necessary
Yes, machinery is available to
rake and turn the hay but these
marsh lands are filled with little
holes and pickets where they may
not be touched with the machine.
The hay is too expensive to allow
this to happen.
am presently living with Freres
Eeckhart near Dendermonde. His
farm is south of Antwerp on the
Schelde river. Much of the land is
covered with water during the fall
and winter as this land is behind
the bikes and lower than the level
of the river. In October, during the
rainy season, the water rises in the
canals and soon covers the land to
a depth of two feet. Although we
are many miles up the river from
the sea the land is only 10 or II feet
above sea level. The tide makes
the river rise and fall with the sea.
Potatoes are the speciality on this
farm. The potatoes were dug when
I arrived but I have helped sort
most of them.
Instead of selling all the potatoes
to wholesaler as is usually done
in the United States, we deliver
them directly to the homes each
week. We have a regular route

By ERIE GROSS
HYE Delegate to Belgium

HAVE YOU EVER seen farmer
take his milking machines to the
pasture to milk the cows? It's a
common sight here in the Flemish
part of Belgium.
I've seen almost every means of
transportation used to haul. the ma
chimes to the pastures. The small
farmers often use a two wheeled
cart and pull it with pony or some
times a dog. On the bigger farms
an auto or tractor is sometimes used.
On my farm at Tongerlo where
I lived in August we had a large
wagon all equipped like any milk
room. Each morning and evening
we hooked the horse to the wagon
and went to the pasture to milk.
Then we tied the cows to the sides
of the wagon and started slipping
on the machines.
It's quite sight to see cows tied
around wagon with boy busily
tending to the milking. It's really
better than moving the cows back
and forth between the barn and the
pasture.
To Milk BY Boat
l was really surprised when I
went to milk for the first time here
on this farm. We took boat. Yes,
the farmer has boat equipped with
little gasoline engine, pump and
vacuum tank. We coupled the hose
from the tank to a pipe for the milk
ing machines then tied the cows to
a hitching rail on the bank of the
canal We proceeded to milk just
as before.
Another interesting feature of
this Rowland" farming is the proc
ess of making hay" Most of the
hay is cut with horse mowers al
though the scythe is used too. The
hay is raked, scattered and reraked
by hand so that all of it will dry.
Any wet grass is sorted out and
left lying in the field to dry. The
dry hay is raked up in little wind
rows and stacked on tripod affairs
called rueters.
After two weeks or so, when the
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-01-15

inst the same each week. I'm be-
ginning to wonder just how many
potatoes these people eat because
we seldom leave less than so pounds
each time.
Waffle Supper
During the last week there have
been many special occasions. First
of all. we had waffle supper. It's
a tradition in the family that when
all the potatoes are dug and sorted
for market we have big supper
of just waffles.
The only difference b etw e N
'waffles eaten" here and in Mon
tana is that here we eat them like
cookies or, should say, bread and
Jelly. We hold them in our hands
rather than eat them from plate.
Another big occasion this week
was the Kermis, a big festival and
holiday for everyone of Bender
monde.
In the morning the family and /
went to the horse show and sale
and then to the market. Although
it was a holiday the market was the
same as any o tn IT Monday In
Dendermonde.
For a description, the market is

milking unit in action. Gross photos)
held in the square in front of the
city hall The open stands resemble
the fish and vegetable markets on
the water front of almost any United
States sea coast city. However, here
everything from harness for the
horses to candy for the children is
dislayed for sale.
At the market we met many
friends as nearly everyone of Dem
dermonde and many people from
the nearby villages were there.
At noon all the farmers and their
families who live on our street con-
gregated at special place in the
market. After all had arrived we
departed together for our homes
along Bijloke STRAIT.
Festival Dinner
Upon arriving home we were
seated before a festival dinner of
chicken and rabbit For dessert we
ate pudding called Vlaain which
reminded me of our Thanksgiving
pumpkin pies.
The dinner was certainly delicious
and needless to say, / ate too much
for comfort.
In the evening after the milking
was finished we returned to the
city where we met in little cafe
and played either billiards or cards
and drank the tasty Belgian beer.
I've learned to play billiards since
coming to Belgium. It's favorite
game of young and old, men and
women alike.
In the cafes or bars as we call
them in the United States it is
illegal to sell anything but beer
and soft drinks. This makes little
difference to the average Belgian,
as beer is the favorite Belgian drink.
Beer is the drink in the homes as
well as the cafes and is often served
with the meals.
Mischievous Kinderlin
This family is a couple of % or
20 years. They have four small
children all under school age. I'm
like my other farms, have many
little friends here.
The Kinderlin as we say in Flem-
ish are just as active, mischievous
and full of fun as any children. I
think the parents discipline them
more severely than do the parents
in Montana, however.
When a child is two and a
half or three years old the family
starts teaching him good manners,
etc. If he is left-handed he must
learn to write with his right just
as the others. I've been told it's
an insult to write with ones left
hand.

tested that a clause in 1853 lcgis-

issue no new drilling permits, thus
