River counties recollect odd farm tales and auto mishaps
A Carroll and Whiteside county reminiscence piece recounts hoary farm yarns and early car misadventures from 1919. Tales include a cow milking quirk, a barn shingling mishap, a noon bell dog, a rooster guarding a tank, and a vigilant bull. A runaway car near a curb, a broken windshield, and a geese over turkey hatch produce lighthearted nostalgia.
