Went to another farm auction and found a grain mill. It's an older model and it weighs about 35 lbs. It's called a Grain All, made by IFC Corp. in Orem, Utah. It didn't have a manual or any kind of paperwork but I figured I could just google it and get all the info I would need. NOT! I couldn't...

I went to another auction on Saturday and picked picked up another batch of jars (74). A mixed lot of qt, and pt. , wide and reg. mouth. $5.00. Also in the lot were 25 - 1/2 gallon jars. They won't fit in either of my canners ( not that I'd want to can that much of anything in one jar) so I'm...

I made tomato soup the other day and the last pint jar is only about 2/3 full. It seems to be sealed but I thought I would ask the experts around here for their opinions. Is this acceptable?

I didn't know where to put this so if it's not appropriate, feel free to move it. I read on a regular basis. The authors wife has been battling an undisclosed illness for about a year now. Yesterday she passed on. The reason I'm mentioning this here is because she had to be the strongest woman...

We had our first frost on Thursday night :th 6 weeks before we normally should. It appears to have been very localized and we were among the lucky few that got hit. Cukes, beans, and cantaloupe are done. Tomatoes took a pretty good hit but the plants had a lot of foliage and only the outer...

Yeah I know, this title was already used, :rolleyes: but if you'll indulge me for a moment, I would like to approach the question from a different angle without hijacking FC's thread. Most of us here garden to varying degrees. My garden has been getting larger every year for the last 3 years...

Our son picked up a few bantams a couple months ago. Before we knew it they had 22 eggs and 2 of the hens started sitting. Last Friday they started hatching. By Sunday we had 17 peeps. Shortly after they the banty's started sitting so did one of my hens. She was on 13 eggs. On Wed. they...

Early last winter we acquired a pygmy goat we named Sassy. Last month we noticed her getting a little plump while the rest of the goats were thinning out a bit. But she is quite small and can slip in anywhere and steal grain from someone, so we didn't think much more about it. This afternoon she...

Hi all. I came across a classified ad site that deals strictly in bartering that I thought some of us might find useful. It's still in it's infant stage but the infrastructure is in place for it to be used nationwide. Each state is broken down into counties. It has it's roots in CA. and doesn't...

I'm having my first go at making apple butter. The recipe calls for cinnamon, allspice, clove, and nutmeg. Even with this horrible cold I have, the clove is overwhelming. A lot of you folks have waaaaay more experience at this kind of thing than I do. Does anyone know if there is a way to subdue...

The other forums don't mention it so I guess it goes here. I have 2 diesel engines on equipment I own. One is 80hp the other is 45. The guards can be removed to expose the pulley. My question is; does anyone know if I can purchase a generator that I can use with my own power source? I have...
