[AT] early farming

[Carl Tatlock]

When  was just  married, I worked one summer  on the farm of a dairy 
farmer in the northcountry (Malone) of New York State.  He had a 1938 
Farmall tractor, and a 1917 horsedrawn tedder.  I got to drive the 
tractor and took along a big oil can (locomotive style) because the 
journals on the tedder were so worn  they had to be oiled at the end of 
each row.  Needless to say, moving at the horse/MPH and stopping to oil 
at the end of each row made for a long day!  Probably where I fell in 
love with tractors, come to think of it.  I also helped him repair a 
wooden silo-- anybody remember silo staples?  1950's memories.
