[AT] [JDAT] Slightly OT: horse drawn implements

[Gene Dotson]

    Charlie;
    A dog I used to have would follow in the furrow the same way. When I 
would make a stop, he would walk right into the tailwheel. He did get a lot 
of mice that way, and ocasionally a mole.
    Have had hawks watching from the trees and would sometimes be a race 
between the dog and hawk to get the mouse first.

                    Gene
