Handy contrivance aids unloading hay in barn infield
A homemade method uses two 10 foot ropes with end rings spliced in to lift hay from a rigging. Ropes are placed across the forward end and midway to the rear. On arrival at the mow the rings engage hooks, rope blocks swing over the load, and two strong men roll the load into the barn. A second block helps very heavy loads. Farm and Home cites efficiency of this device versus costly horse forks. Fertilizers should provide available plant food for immediate crops, nitrates and sulphates of nitrogen, phosphates from bone, Peruvian guano, and potash salts are best. refuse factory materials may lack accessible nutrients.
