I had a dog that loved my own cats but would kill without mercy any other creature, including stray cats, that it could get its teeth into. I had no mouse or rat problem with him around. But, sadly, he died of cancer. Within a month or so I started to notice signs of rats. Within another month or so I noticed worse signs. I think they were migrating from the huge riding stable across the road. I imagine one told another, "Hey, that killer dog across the road is gone. Let's move in!" I had a heartfelt talk with my cats abut their responsibilities. Of course, as cats are inclined to do, they ignored me. (Yes, I overfeed them.) I tried trapping the rats. I lost count at about 30 (!) that I trapped, including one that measured 17 inches from nose to tail.

All in all, I was amazed at how quickly dozens of rats appeared, and equally amazed at how quickly the poison took them out.

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
