Convenient Sorting Pen for Livestock Handling
Farmers seek labor saving stock pens with scale, dipping tank, loading chute, and dehorning area. A Wallace's Farmer reader describes using nine foot fencing and elm for frames, a brick dipping tank with cement, a movable platform, and a chute that backs to a wagon for efficient loading and branding. This system aims to reduce losses and increase turnover by streamlining sorting and marketing of cattle and calves.

Draft Horses as Profitable Farm Stock and Their Value
The Drovers Journal notes draft horses are heavier now to meet demand for hauling loads at moderate speeds. While weighing 1400 pounds is common, many draft breeds reach 1600 pounds or more, with loaded pairs capable of moving heavy tonnage efficiently. Farmers seek docile, farmable horses selling well from weanlings to mature, valuing breed selection and steady profit despite price fluctuations.

In wet autumn nights stock sleep beneath sheds if they are rainy and winds may blow them over. This is hard on the stock.
