It is tough work we told them, "It cant be as bad as haying at McIntyre*s", they said. We told them it was twice as hard, "We will give you five the size of Herman Go ering" ,..and they did. We asked the guards what we could do to pep them up. "A few smokes, some fruit and a little hamburger will help. Their rations are reduced, you know"« (We did? all of this,) We dipped 600 rams Monday fore-noon, and it was no fun. They had all been through the dip before and could smell sulphur a block away. Almost every one had to be drug up the chutes and pushed into the vat one by one. To kill tioks they should swim for one minute (So says the instructions). They oould understand Dutch so we used what we could remember after forty years (1805 to 1907) ...the swear words* The boys got a breathing spell when it come to the awes and lambs. The lambs didn’t know what was before them. They were easily induced to walk the chutes, and most of them jumped voluntarily into the vat. Their mothers if they weren’t too old ijwise in the ways of the world) followed reluctantly, Spear grass is bad this year. The lambs are full of it. It will bore right into their stomaohs. Many become blind. The German lads were not backward In removing the grass from the blind lambs’ eyes, ( They appeared human like the rest, (12 in all). In fact we believe they controlled their tempers better than some of us. (Some old ewes would brace all fours and refuse to move). Three or four hard ones in a row and the boys would see red (like waving a red flag in front of a bull). The Cooper’s Dip representative, Bill Benson, was on the job to supervise the dipping, (Some complaints). We couldn’t find any live ticks after. Later the boys jumped into the lake and say they are all masters at the art of swimming.
