The local feed mill was a mile east on route 20, They had a candy machine I liked, don't remember having pop. They had a small building with an office on one side and I think they read the scale on the other. There was about a half dozen chairs in there full of old guys and a pot belly stove. They also had a little stock yard a 100 yards down the railroad siding that we hauled pigs to for a while.

A quite of hike, we did it in the winter, tunnel was probably full of rattlers in the summer.
The old feedmill burnt down but I think it was closed before it burnt.

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
