After we left the Blooming arts festival in Linden, Dan talked me into going down to find the Brown'sport furnace south east of Decaturville Tn. The trip through the country could rival any scenic area in this country. We were looking across a large meadow valley traveling along the west side, and looked at a road traveling along the east side, parallel to the road we were on. Sure enough we were on that road a few minuites later, going the other way and around a large timbered hill. There was a spring fed stream running through the middle of it. I really wish I'd taken pictures of it. Later we looked for signs directing us to the frunace, there were none, but we noticed a road sign that said "furnace rd" so we turned around at the next safe driveway around the corner and over the hill and went back to the "Furnace rd" We'd gone down the road a mile or less and came up to a man and his family working on a project near the road in his yard. We stopped and asked if we were on the right road to the furnace. He said "Yes" and after much talking (small talk) he knew folks that Dan knew and Dan knew folks that he was related to, so on so forth ect,ect. (we were there 30 minuites and Dan finally turned the motor off while we talked) He said "Go on down the road to where it turns to gravel, then go another mile and a half, you will see black rocks in the road, you are there! If I hadn't remembered the comment about the black rocks in the road, we would have gone on by it, easily! This is one of the black rocks. It is black glass that is the byproduct of the melting of the iron ore. I guess it is an impurity that rises to the top and has to be broken out of the frunace after it has cooled enough to reload. These black rocks were everywhere!

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
