My sister and I fed the calves twice a day- usually 10 or 12 at any given time. Their water was a half a 55 gallon drum, which we filled with buckets from the main watering trough about 20 feet away. Sometimes took a lot of buckets, especially since we were too little to fill them. Sister and I got the bright idea that we should buy a hose- put it on the faucet that kept the main trough full, then take it off when we were done. We pooled our money, and next time we went to town with mom, went to the Coast to Coast store and bought the cheapest 25 foot hose, probably 2 or 3 bucks. We were all excited when we told her about our great idea. She smiled, but didn't say anything. That night, my sis overheard mom "tearing the rag of the bush" about it with Dad- she told him in no uncertain terms that her kids were not going to spend their own money on supplies for "his" farm. Sure enough, next day he came to us and told us what a good idea that was, and that he wanted to buy our hose from us for the farm. We didn't let on like we knew anything had happened. Sure did make life easier.
