It’s easy to think you’ve seen it all before … easy, that is, until you pick up the December 2009 issue of Farm Collector.
As I survey the contents, my first reaction is like that of the elderly friend I remember from childhood. On hearing something that surprised or shocked, she exclaimed, “Well, I never,” signaling both wonderment and a sudden shortage of words.

As you read this, kids across the country are settling back into familiar classroom routines.
Familiar to them, that is: not so familiar to those of us years separated from lessons in readin’, ’ritin’ and ’rithmatic – and totally alien to those who lived in the era when what we think of as old iron was new.

This exam was taken from an original 1895 document on file at the Smoky Valley Genealogical Society & Library in Salina, Kan., and reprinted by the Salina Journal.
There is some debate as to whether it was administered to eighth graders as a final examination or to potential teachers.

Looking for a little something to perk up your road trips this summer? Find a museum. The big ones will do nicely, but if you really want to stumble on a funky little collection that captures the pulse of one tiny dot on the map, think small.

Steam traction engines on TV? Could be, at least if the desires of an independent British programming company come to fruition. I've been approached before by would-be TV producers expressing interest in building a show around the subject of old farm equipment, but the few who have contacted me in years past seemed intent on trying to apply the sort of story line used in popular shows like Jesse James' "Monster Garage" to vintage farm equipment. Not much of a fit, if you ask me.
