years we made a good many pounds of cheese. It is very
interesting work. At first each farmer came with his few cans in a
small wagon, usually drawn by one horse. Then the Farmers used
small trucks in place of horse drawn wagons. Now most of the milk
is gathered in large enclosed vans.

We felt we had a
mall part in helping Wisconsin become one of the leading states in
dairying and about first in production of cheese.

We raised a family
of three, one son and two daughters, all are married now. We always
allowed the children to have pets. They had guinea pigs, white
rabbits, a wood chuck, two baby raccoons, cats and dogs, and a
bear. The bear they named Bruno. We had him from a tiny cub until
he was two years old. He lovedrecent study by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), Americans According to Reuters, Dana Gunders, who is a scientist with the NRDC's food and agricultural program, said, "As a country, we're essentially tossing every other piece of food that crosses our path. That's money and precious resources down the drain." It seems some urgent lessons need to be learned from Sweden's recycling program, not only in the USA but elsewhere in the world. -- Related video on food waste: Public Radio International is reporting that around 20% of Sweden's district heating, along with electricity for roughly 250,000 Swedish homes, comes from the country's waste-to-energy program.However, with households recycling most of their waste, only around 4% of it ends up in the landfills.The recycling program is mandatory in Sweden.
