Readers may recall that a few days ago we had a picture of the ironic sign for the cemetery in the hamlet of Liberty, Nebraska. The reason we were there was to visit a place called Barn Treasures, https://tinyurl.com/23fu8zad. 80-something year old retired farmer and machinist, Roger Theye, has amassed a huge collection of historic Midwestern farm equipment, some of it dating to the 1850s. It was cramped and we had lots of family on our tour, making it hard to take pictures.
This gadget, though, caught my eye. Imagine the pride of the businessman who claimed to own the world's largest manufacturer of egg scales. But this scale only weighed one egg at a time. What if you had a whole hen-house full?

Very odd to my eyes, but the farms I was used to had dairy cattle or wheat.
