    I just signed up yesterday with Google Analytics, a free service that provides "traffic" reports from your website. I went and checked the reports today, not expecting much, but the report was really detailed. They list the referring links to your website and search keywords used to find your...

    Don't get bit by a tick that carries it. I'm not being flip but that is the only surefire prevention. Kentucky is presently considered a "no risk" state in that very, very few if any cases have been reported. Check out the map here http://www.aldf.com/usmap.shtml There is a bunch of other...
  3. Survival & Emergency Preparedness
    Old fashioned hot water bottles would work if you have access to the hot water heater. You could drain the tank right into each bottle and they would help to keep you warm throughout the night. Of course this wouldn't work for a lengthy outage. For a longer term outage, I would use a chafing...

    Bear here's a little tip for you for when you're searching for information specifically from recognized mainline media. It will save you some time in narrowing down your searching. Be very specific and preface your search keywords with the name of the media you're looking for. So just for...
  6. Cattle
    How much Do you have any problems with the bull jumping the fence? And how's the bull's temperament?
  7. Cattle
    Some keep the bull with the cows year-round, but I believe most commercial cattle people try to confine calving to a certain period in the fall or spring. Even with a very small herd, I found it more convenient to have cows calve September-November or March-May, so I'd have the bull with the...

    If you are considering the PTO version be aware that you have to match the hydraulic motor on the attachment to the hydraulic flow of your loader. The flow from the loader must be matched to the hydraulic motor displacement to get close to the 540 rpm you would have on a tractor. I know a guy...
  9. Poultry
    Yep, I just happened to be able to bend the ear of a USDA veterinarian yesterday morning. She said: "Take a look at the employment section of the USDA website". They are hiring a good number of veterinarians, temporary techs and emergency personnel in case this bird flu thing blows up again...
  10. Rabbits
    A couple of people have asked about research papers on rabbits. To my knoweldge, there hasn't been much research done in the US or Canada simply because there are no big companies requesting it (like tyson for chickens, for instance). The few that have been done are mostly on small samples, and...
  11. Gardening & Plant Propagation
    It has been an interesting day. We struck out overland this morning down to St. Petersburg to visit Diana's grandparents who snowbird there every year. We took them some eggs and a couple of jars of homemade jam and pear butter and caught up on all the family gossip. The visit was pleasant...
  12. Fiber Arts
    Kas, it's not. Really. You'll notice that the fewer yards per pound (ypp) the lower the sett number. Just means that the thicker the yarn the fewer ypp and the fewer wraps per inch (wpi). So if you have a really bulky knitting or crochet yarn, and you wrap it around a 12" ruler, you'll only...
