"It seems to me," said John,
"that livestock auctions are making pretty
good headway in gaining respect of the general
livestock industry. They're becoming more widely
recognized as an important marketing factor. One
reason is that auctions have improved their
services, facilities and ethics to a great extent
and are still doing so. Another reason is that
they perform a real service and thereby have
earned a place for themselves in spite of
considerable opposition. |

During an oil spill off the coast of
Mexico, a lot of U.S. troubleshooters were sent
south of the border to advise the government how
to stop the flow of oil and immediately came
across a language barrier. |

Mariner Travel Services in Rhode
Island arranged travel for the Aran Island Prose
and Poetry Festival in Ireland the first part of
August. The committee picked a Rhode Island
agency, I think, because Ireland is small, too. |

Have you noticed lately how the
world is changin'
That our values are adrift upon the sea.
But let me say, one man can make a difference
And I'll put it to you plain as I can be. |

They say that denial is the glue
that holds the world together. Well, they're
wrong. Bailing wire used to hold the rural world
together, but now it's been replaced by duct
tape. |

A rich stockbroker asked my friend,
George, to stage an adult birthday party with a
cowboy theme. Realizing that the standard kid
games might be too complicated for a bunch of
rich stock tradin' dudes, George came up with
some modified games to entertain the party-goers.
I have added a few of my own to come up some
fresh ideas for family fun involving farm animals
that are sure to make your next party a big hit. |

The hunter's year consists of three
phases: (a.) anticipation (mid-summer to opening
day); (b.) participation (the hunting seasons
themselves); and (c.) recollection (season's end
to mid-summer). |

September is the time many horse owners
step up to the challenge of trying to figure out
how to properly feed their new weanlings. Armed
with questions, they descend in droves on the
local feed store in hopes of finding a cheap,
easy way to replace the gallons of mare’s
milk previously consumed by the young horse. |
