Article: In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of brown sugar with 1 tablespoon of butter. You can combine them using the tines of a fork. Cream the sugar and butter until they're light and fluffy. It will be easier to cream the butter if it's at room temperature. If you need to, soften the butter in the microwave in 5 second increments. Place the parchment with your cookie dough onto a microwave-safe plate. Microwave the cookie for 40 seconds. If the cookie still looks doughy, microwave it for 5 second intervals until it looks baked. Let it cool a minute before removing the cookie from the parchment. This cookie is best if served or eaten immediately. If you let it sit too long, it may harden.

Article: Several different animals are suitable for plowing. Among the most common are mules, horses, and oxen. Whichever animal you use should be broken to the plow — that is, it should be calm, comfortable and obedient with this sort of work. Working with an unbroken animal can be dangerous. Losing control while plowing can lead to injury for you or the animal. The exact sort of harnessing necessary will vary by animal and by plow. Get an expert to help you if you are unsure how to proceed — harnessing the animal incorrectly can hurt it. Below are general instructions:  Catch the animal and bridle it. Place the metal bit in its mouth and secure the leather straps on either side. Harness the collar around the animal's neck. Connect the collar to the harness draped over the animal's back. Fasten the harness to the collar. Attach the trace chains from the harries, through the loops in the back band and belly band, and to the plow's singletree. Don't forget the belly band if you're using a horse — because of the way horses' shoulders are constructed, the animal can be choked by the weight of the plow if the harness slips without this safety measure. Lead the animal to the corner of the field to be plowed. Have the animal walk forward as you plunge the blade of the plow into the ground to break up the earth. Walk between the handles behind the animal, controlling its speed so that it moves at a manageable pace. Use the plow's handles to control the angle and depth of the blade. Have the animal turn around when it reaches either end of the field and double back. As noted above, for extra-long fields, it's best to plow in the direction of the short sides to give your animal more breaks. There are a few different ways to get straight, properly-spaced furrows when you're working with an animal plow. Here is one versatile method that uses a type of plow called a "turning plow" as well as a different variety called a Georgia stock plow:  First, use the turning plow to make two furrows with about 12 inches of unplowed space in between. Next, plow about 4 inches inside the balk (the unplowed space). Do the same on the other side so you are left with about 4 inches of unplowed space in the middle. When your whole field is tilled this way, switch to a Georgia stock plow with a 20-inch sweep. Plow right through the middle of the balk. You will be left with neat, orderly trenches you can drop your seeds into.

Pick a draft animal that is broken to the plow. Harness your animal to the plow. Start plowing in straight rows. If you can, switch out plow blades to get good furrows.
Article: The perimeter pieces are the 4 pieces of metal that form the rectangle for the trailer’s base. For this trailer, use 2 length pieces 6 feet (1.8 m) long and 2 width pieces 4 feet (1.2 m) long. Either buy 4 pieces cut to this length, or buy a longer piece and cut it to size yourself.  For this trailer, you’ll need 20 feet (6.1 m), or 240 inches (610 cm), of steel total for the base. Buy enough to complete the job. If you’re building your trailer to different dimensions, then adjust this step to meet your needs. Use a protractor and measure a 45-degree angle into both sides of each perimeter piece. Make sure the angles on each base piece are facing the same direction. Then use a power saw or miter saw and cut the angle into each piece.  Miter saws are best to use here because you can adjust the saw to the angle you want to cut. This ensures you get a proper, 45-degree angle. Most power saws can cut metal, but be sure to use a blade designed for metal. Always wear goggles and gloves when cutting metal. A welding mask would be even better, because cutting metal produces sparks. Once the angles are cut, lay out the trailer perimeter. Work on a flat surface, like your driveway or garage floor. Lay out one of the 6 ft (1.8 m) pieces. Then fit a 4 ft (1.2 m) piece into each corner. Lay down the last 6 ft (1.8 m) piece to complete the rectangle.  Push the pieces together so there is as little space between them as possible. If you aren’t sure if you’re working on a flat surface, put a level on the floor and check. the perimeter pieces together. With the perimeter formed, fasten the pieces together. Use a blowtorch or similar welding tool and weld along the corners of the rectangle. Weld all the areas you can reach first. Then let the metal cool down and flip it over so you can reach the bottom.  Make sure there are no openings or holes in your weld spots. This keeps water out and prevents rusting. You can rent welding equipment from hardware stores, or buy it if you prefer. Wear a welding mask, thick gloves, and a leather apron while you weld. Never touch metal right after you welded it. Wait for everything to cool down first. Use the same type of steel beams you used for the perimeter. Measure the width between the 2 longer sections of the perimeter. Then cut a piece of steel to that length. Fit it in between the length pieces to make sure it fits snuggly. Don’t worry if it’s a tight fit or if you have to press the piece in. It should fit tight so it welds better. Measure the trailer lengthwise and find the halfway point. Mark this off with chalk. Then fit the support beam into this spot and weld it in place.

Get four 2 in (5.1 cm) x 3 in (7.6 cm) pieces of rectangular steel tubing for the perimeter. Cut a 45-degree angle into the end of each perimeter piece. Arrange the base pieces on a flat surface. Weld Cut a support beam for the center of the trailer bed. Weld the support beam at the halfway point of the trailer length.
