10 CANNOTS !

Thanks to Maha at the campfire for bringing this to our attention...

The quotes were published in 1916 by William J. H. Boetcker, a Presbyterian minister.


1. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
2. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong
3. You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich.
4. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
5. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence.
6. You cannot help small men by tearing down big men.
7. You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
8. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income.
9. You cannot establish security on borrowed money.
10 You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they will not do for themselves.

Bee and pesticides don't mix

Another reason to try to be as organic as possible. LINK
I was temped to spray my fruit this year to see if we could get a better crop but after reading this article I will plan on buying Liberty and Freedom apples so I can avoid extra chemicals.
Our garden and small field have been without chemical fertilizers, weed control or pesticides for 7 years now. But the rest of our farm that is rented by a local farmer gets soaked with whatever Monsanto tells him he needs to dump on it.
One of these days when I can find some small equipment that works and I can afford we won't need to rent out the land and will get it back to being safe crop land.

Smokeless Muzzleloaders??

Here is an important link I got at the campfire showing what can happen even with a professionally built gun.

Warning Graphic Link

As someone said on the campfire..."I thought the next advancement in muzzleloading was the metallic cartridge".
