Cow tail powered milking plan proves value on Dooly farm
John Dooly of Jacksonville New Jersey has devised a method using a cow’s tail to power a saw on a farm woodpile. The brindle cow, long difficult to milk, was harnessed to a walking beam connected to a circular saw. After ten minutes of operation, the cow’s tail motion drove the saw and produced two cords of wood, enabling rapid milking of the cow. Dooly states he would not part with the animal now.
