OT - any luck taming barn kittens?

OR...why does this keep happening to me??? Never saw a fool cat on the place until I put up the equipment shed this year. The rains early on washed away all the fill banked around the perimeter so there was a good 10" of space all around that critters could get under the walls (until I filled them all in again). First round was coons. Climbed 16' up to the eaves and then into the gables and had a litter. When early summer sun hit that black roof the baby coons came boiling out. Way too early, they were really tiny. They moved on and then the cats moved in. Apparently if you have acreage and a barn every loser in the county drops his unwanted kitty off. Soon there were kittens. LOTS of kittens. Red squirrels and sparrows gave it all a try but the plague of cats at least were good enough to take care of them. We had mashed kittens on the road in front of the place and you would see the survivors playing on the lanes. They dash into the corn if you come along. Then last week I go out to do more work on the combine engine and here is another round of kittens. Only two this time but apparently abandoned when the big snow fall came along. I put them at around 6-8 weeks. My oldest daughter can handle them but I think they are meaner than spit. They growl at me. She keeps working with them. I was just wondering if there is any chance they will ever become tame? Anyone ever tame nasty, wild-arse barn kittens? I have cage traps set for the parents so I can get rid of them. I figure I neuter these two male kittens they should chase off any new arrivals.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Hydraulics - The Basics - by Curtis Von Fange. Hydraulics was one of the greatest inventions for helping man compound the work he can do. It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul ...
