Old Farmer's Riddle: Whnt
neter gets hurt when it
falls? (Answer Below.)
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.

The Yazoo Rider is already well known to commercial
cutters. 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.
Try these with a belly-siting mower
