Ask the Old Farmer: Years £ ago my mother made a ,4 salve she called "mutton tallow" which we put on our chapped hands and legs. A few applications would heal the chapped skin. Could you tell me how this was made? F. M., Auburn, N.Y. Yup, it was the kidney fat of a sheep melted down and allowed to harden. We don’t think the fat of a lamb would do.

They bought twice as many of them this year as they did the year before. It’s a completely industrial-standard machine. Yet it costs about half as much as the tractors they’ve been using, with their belly-slung blades and huge, unwieldy gearcases. Why are we telling residential owners about it? Because the Yazoo Rider actually costs less than well known “homeowner” brands of belly-slung tractor mowers. In residential use it should last a lifetime.
