I was plowing Aug. 28th in the evening when I caught a glimpse of a fast moving object out of the corner of my left eye. I turned and see a Coyote heading flat out for Rusty. (Rusty being my miniature poodle that wants to be in the field or any place I am)I started yelling as loud as I could (HERE HERE HERE) as I stopped the tractor and started to get off. I have no idea why the only thing that was coming out of my mouth was (HERE) but it worked. The Coyote made a sweeping turn which started almost straight out from me and came within 20 feet of Rusty which had looked up from his mouse hunting. The Coyote continued his large turn and jumped over the creek, stopped and watched me head on the run toward Rusty. I scooped up Rusty and turned to see the Coyote heading to the woods. The Coyote was a big sucker. I would say it was the size of a German Shepherd. At first that was what I thought it was until it stopped and looked at me with its ears pointed up. It was better than half the size of my miniature horses. Doing chores the next morning I tried to keep Rusty close by. He did good when I fed the mares up North but when I went into the Barn to feed South of the house he slipped away and when I cam out he was back in the field mouse hunting. I ran for the rifle and then to where I could see Rusty before I called to him to come back. Rusty loves to hunt the hay field until it grows back up above his head. That usually happens in a short time. I have noticed less wood chucks than what I was seeing early on. On RFD TV one show was talking as to how coyotes like house cats. I have also not notices stray cats in the barn lately. Rusty is not much bigger than a well fed house cat.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
