Useful Recipes From a Historic Page

Comparative Value of Hay Corn and Roots
An acre kept for hay yields at most 1.5 tons of vegetable food while one planted with carrots or ruta-bagas yields about 15 tons. Three horses of 15.5 hands consume hay and oats weekly. a working horse requires nearly six acres of land for a year, but half an acre of ruta-bigas or carrots can suffice with chopped straw. One bushel of corn with its fodder can feed a horse for a week. a 60 bushel acre of corn can feed a horse for a year. The same logic applies to cattle and sheep.
