GOVERNMENT WASTE AND CITIZENRY NEEDS MILLIONS TO STUDY FOOT ODOR PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, March 10, 2009
    Be careful what you way, you could be showcasing your ignorance.  It isn’t just the liberal Democrats who have loaded the so-called Stimulus Bill with pork; forty percent can be traced back to liberal and unscrupulous Republicans who think more of their districts than they do America.  Millions to study foot odor; millions to study why swine manure smells (idiots); millions to preserve an endangered species of mice in Ca.; however, not one red cent for John and Jane Doe (names withheld), both whom have cancer and must survive on two social security checks totaling approximately twelve-hundred dollars.

Manure Connoisseur PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, March 3, 2009
I’m a manure connoisseur. Good quality manure is not offensive and I’m happy to see a field full of cow pies (so are the earthworms). Manure has too much nitrogen to rot properly; we can smell this as ammonia. So we look around the farm for carbon to add to the manure, and we find old hay and rotted forest products. Along with good garden soil to guide the composting process, we create the stable humus that our livelihood depends upon.

SLAYING THE GIANT APATHY PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, March 3, 2009
One of the most exciting stories to be found in the annals of sacred history is recorded in I Samuel 17.  A giant of a man, over nine feet tall, stood on a mountain calling out to the army of Israel which was on a nearby mountain, with a valley in between.  “I defy the armies of Israel,” this giant called out.  “If you aren’t afraid of me, come out and fight me,” he continued.  But his size and his booming voice frightened the Israelite soldiers, struck fear in their hearts.  No one, absolutely no one, dared fight the giant Goliath.

A Farm Needs Cattle PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
“A farm needs cattle,” Dad informed us. It was 1974, and we’d just settled into our new (old) Tennessee homestead, which had obviously revolved around livestock. Dad had experienced the deterioration of the soil, and the local rural economy, in the Midwest during the previous decades, and attributed this to the removal of livestock from cropland. Nitrogen from cow manure or clover was not the same as nitrogen from a bag. Cattle and the crops they graze can improve the soil’s humus content, and manure is the best fertilizer (except for the proverbial farmer’s own footsteps).

COWARDS, TUCK YOUR TAILS BETWEEN YOUR LEGS AND RUN FOR COVER PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, February 24, 2009
    Tuck your tail between your legs and run for cover.  That was not heard at Valley Forge or in 1776.  It was not heard at the Alamo or on the Beachheads of Normandy; had our forefathers been puny and fearful then we would never have enjoyed the quality of life and the freedom of movement and spirit that we are experiencing in our culture.
