Hasn't been a good year thos year for many reasons. Started last fall when I bought some cattle. They had some sickness that the vet couldn't figure out and we lost 4 of 9 head. Then the summer was so dry my crops are very poor, oats and barley were hardly worth combining. The Corn is poor too as some didn't come up til July 1st. That stuff is mixed with the good stuff and is now just getting into the milk stage. So if frost comes any time soon it will be a mess to try to harvest. Luckily no cold weather predicted til towards the end of next month. We did have a frost hard enough to put I've on my truck windows last week, but it didn't get the corn, did burn some of the garden tho.
The last couple weeks have been bad too. The 2 sows that had the big litters last time, 1 had 17 the other 22 pigs, had their second litters. The first had 16 nice pigs but for some reason she wasn't eating. She got bad enough that she didn't have enough milk and I lost a couple of those pugs before I got them on milk replacer. The 14 left are all doing well now and the sow is eating again, but she is very thin. The other sow had hers last weekend, 24 total pugs with 4 born dead. She had not been eating either I think because the dead had been dead for a quite a while. I think they poisoned her because within 24 hours all the pigs and the sow were dead. That's a hard one for me, not only the lost money, but I don't like when animals die. Hopefully that will end that for a while as it's very disheartening.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
