Y'awl mean lahk these hear Aereo-Motor fans, Festus?
I seen a BUNCH of 'em like this'n in Texas - not jist on cow farms, but near the train tracks, too . . .
SFAIK, These hear rail-fans is used t' keep the tracks from a-meltin' durin' the summer!
IIRC, it's even hotter in Texas then in Kansas, so they's got a lot more of 'em down thar.
Ah'll bet Ed 'n' Skip's got two or three each!
