Covered Rack for Feeding Barnyard Winter Use
An efficient covered feed rack for winter feeding of corn fodder hay or grains doubles as shade in summer and manure shelter. It uses 8 to 10 inch square center posts 12 to 14 feet long set 6 feet apart with rafters a roof of straw or hay and side troughs. Cost about $10 for 16 to 18 feet and saves many times its cost in one season.
Mixed Hay Best for Stock Feeding
A mixed hay crop with clove and grain grown on well manured soil yields 12 percent crude protein and higher feeding value than pure timothy, though markets prefer timothy for sale. For cattle and farm use, mixed hay is preferred, and clover proportion rises with manure such as muriate of potash and super phosphate. barnyard manure or nitrate boosts timothy content.
