| Rather than buy larger halters as your calves and foals grow, use a piece of an old dog collar to extend the end of the halter. Use a tarp or a snow sled to pull heavy or unwieldy things around - works especially well on snow, grass, or muddy areas. NEVER throw away old bath towels. They can come in handy on the farm, for use as shop rags, in the barn, drying off dogs after a bath or newborn animals, etc. I keep one in the barn to throw over my cow when she is wet from rain or snow and I need to milk. Hate to have that wet or muddy flank in my face!

Old sweaters and sweatshirts make great calf and foal jackets, too.

| Someone sent this to a long time ago and I have really used these so I thought I'd share... Coffee filters ..who knew! And you can buy 1,000 at the Dollar Store for almost nothing.
1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave.
2. Clean windows and mirrors. Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll leave windows sparkling.
3. Protect your china by putting a coffee filter between each dish.
4. If you break the cork when opening a wine bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter.
5. Protect a cast-iron skillet. Place a coffee filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust.
6. Apply shoe polish. Ball up a lint-free coffee filter.
7. Recycle frying oil. After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a coffee filter.
8. Weigh chopped foods. Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a kitchen scale.
9. Hold tacos. Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods.
10. Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot. Line a plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent
the soil from going through the drainage holes.
11. Prevent a Popsicle from dripping. Poke one or two holes as needed in a coffee filter.
12. Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows? Use strips of coffee filters.
13. Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, French fries, chicken fingers, etc on them.
Soaks out all the grease.

Bug Bites:
I stumbled on this accidentally. I usually buy the expensive Benadryl spray for such, but had misplaced it. I crochet little pouches for Purell hand sanitizer, so had several bottles in desk drawer. Dabbed a little on the bite and it instantly stopped itching. Later in the day it started itching again, put more on, no itching. I buy the little sizes & fits in my jeans pocket so that I'm never without.
