    I have started canning in the last few years, mainly Tomatoes, cukes, sauerkraut, Vegie things.... I have thought about trying meats but am not brave enough. I bought a pressure cooker to do them with, then found out the pressure cooker I bought is not safe to use for canning. It is one of...

    Why would you want to bring a husky that is lying in the snow inside? It is bred for the cold. With food it will do fine? The idea of "kindness" is so very subjective to our individual views. When I was a kid we had outdoor barn dogs. My Dad always said while bringing them in might seem kind...

    BeerCan I forgot about the vent and water leakage from evaporation, I had to had some to mine a couple times a year. Also I do not think we had that list of regulations back when I had mine. The beauty of it was burning the green wood, it would last for days and gave great heat. I was so far...

    You really are not heating the outside. I would have 6 inches of snow or more sitting on the top of mine all winter. They are that well insulated. Also when the thermostat is not calling for heat the stove is not burning. It is like a banked spark waiting for air so it can burn again when the...

    I no longer have and outdoor furnace, because we sold and moved from the place 20 years ago. BUT when we were there I loved it. I would pack it full of wood and it would burn for 2 days. It gave us all the hot water we wanted and heated the house for nearly nothing. I never considered my...

    I am sorry if I offended you, I simply do not believe the way you do. I find the facts to be slightly different. I think your statement about scientist agreeing on the origin of dogs is more than a little misleading to those not knowing better...

    I have found you need to have 3 times as much vegetable debris in the compost as the weight of all the ducks you throw in the pile... Ducks can even ruin rotting stuff! Also adding water seems to help. It gets too dry here on the sand and the moisture gets sucked out too fast. I have...

    I have my Grandpa's old, and I mean OLD... I think it was my Great-grandpas corn sheller. The one you crank and put in one cob at a time. They are suppose to hull black walnuts with ease. I do not have any black walnuts here so I cannot tell for sure. For some reason Black Walnuts do...

    Just because your cows do not climb trees does not give you the right to disparage us,,,,,,, Maybe the cows you are familiar with are clumsy and always falling out of the trees so they gave up climbing them.

    We did.. We had special cows. If we wanted strawberry ice cream we fed the cows strawberries, Raspberry Ice Cream they ate raspberries, blue berries and so forth. The hardest part was getting Maple Nut Ice cream, Some of the cows did not like climbing the maple trees for the maple nuts and...
