There is no such thing as a bored farm kid.
This is one of those truths that I grew up with
and still honestly believe.
As I look back on my years in school, I can
remember my classmates telling me that they’d ga
home, watch TV, eat supper, watch TV, and go to
bed.
Not so on the farm.
As soon as you scrambled off the bus, you’d race
for the house to change into your old clothes. Then
it was out to the barn, for chores and fun.
There was always feeding to be done, bedding to
be spread, and odd jobs to fill your time. But the
funny thing was that it never seemed like work
really.
There were always the lambs and sheep to play
with and talk to, and the horses to ride. Then there
were those baby beef steers that needed so much
attention and work as you took them on their daily
stroll.
And of course you had to pay attention to your
buddies, the cats and dogs that followed your
footsteps everywhere you went.
It wouldn't be long before Mother would be at
the back door, calling that supper was ready. And
in you would trudge, hungry for that good home
cooking.
After supper, Daddy would lay out the plans for
the evening. It could be bagging feed, making
fence, worming sheep, or baling hay. Every job
was an adventure, for it was always something
different.
Then, too soon, it was time to head for the house
and bed, or studies, if you were unfortunate
enough to have homework. And another day had
come to an end before you knew it.
Quiet moments with nothing to do seemed far
and few between, and when found, you’d
disappear before somebody found out you were
unoccupied. You learned to appreciate time by
yourself.
Every day was different, every day was full of
life, every day was unique.
I wish every child would have the chance to live
thus.

All air-cooled engines

It’s easier to call an engine “heavy

pectancy is measured in hundreds of hours. If any engine
in the world qualifies as heavy duty, it's Deutz. Deutz
engines are often chosen to power equipment with unit
price tags over half a million dollars -that's heavy duty.
When it comes to colling efficiency, the Deutz
prredsion-cngineered axial-flow cooling air blowers
have no equal. This direct approach to cooling (without
coolants, additives, cavitation) means our engines need
only about 60% of the air volume liquid-cooled engines
require. Combustion efficiency is greatly improved by
higher head temperatures and engine life is extended by
cooler oil temperatures.
If you think air-cooled engines are prone to overheat
talk to Deutz users in the scorching heat of the Imperial
or San Joaquin valleys. There. Deutz engines deliver
more than 20,000 hours of trouble-free service before a
major overhaul.
