Ranching
Ranching is an extensive way of raising livestock, primarily grazing cattle, sheep and horses, but also involves production of many other animals. The term ranch is used loosely as it is primarily up to the owner's discretion whether his/her locale is a farm or ranch, but it is commonly known as a very large tract of land that is often used in its native state. The historical and current practices of ranching and rangeland management among other things pertaining to ranching can be discussed in this category.

Why do ranchers place old boots on fence posts?
David Feldman in Why do Clocks Run Clockwise? posits that 1) the boots may deter coyotes. 2) It's better to stink up a fencepost than a house. 3) Some people just do things.
But forget about the boots. Why do people put caps (coffee cans, finials, can ends, and hub caps) on fenceposts? Because less water (and snow) on the ends means that the posts don't soak throughout and last just a little longer. Then again, the third explanation above also makes sense.
Do they still make pedal axe stone grinders?
No they are not made anymore, they are called "Treadle Grinders" and you can find them at auction or online. here's one I found
http://thebestthings.com/misctool.htm
If you are serious about obtaining a treadle (AKA pedal) grinder, search E-Bay and/or blacksmith sites and flea markets. Most grinders you will find cost $150.00 on up and most are junk that will require lots of work to restore. Most stones wobble on the axis, some are fractured and many stones have large chunks missing as the stones are very soft. The treadle mechanism typically has parts missing. If you can find one without major problems buy it. But, try it out first.
If you can locate a good stone without the treadle base, you can make a suitable base and treadle mechanism yourself. Underhills "Woodwright's Guide" has a plan. But, even without a plan there is enough information on the internet to make one. I just finished building the base and treadle mechanism using images from the internet. They cannot be beat. They operate at around 50 rpm and do not burn the metal.

the hubcap ranch is in Pope Valley California. it is owned by Mike Damonte(my father)
but the real landlord is Midge Damonte, his father. the hubcap ranch was started by Litto Damonte the first when he came from Italy as a marble, and cement smith. he one day found a hubcap on the road outside of his ranch. he descided to hang it on the fence so that when the car came back, they would find it. eventually they didnt come back, and more people lost their hubcaps on that swervey old dirt road, and eventually there where more hubcaps on the fence. people thought that he pourposely put them up there and that he planned to put more up. they would come and bring him hubcaps, or hang them on the fence as they went by.then when he figured out what people were doing, he started himself. the hubcap ranch is full of folk art and animals, and now there are at the very least a good number more than 2,300, and over the past years we've seen many people like the show Bay Area Back Roads, Gordon Huethor a Napa Valley artist whose mailbox stands on the way in(he also did a big project in Napa which involved many hubcaps), Deane Dillan, and many others. if you are interested in going here our address is 6654 Pope Valley Road, Pope Valley, California. if you want to mail, mail it to P.O. box 174, Pope Valley CA. 94567. remember if the front gate is closed no one is home. Once at the Hubcap Ranch, ask for Litto(me) and if I'm not there, ask for Mike.
