Automatic Feed Bag For Horses Invention Shown
Thomas A. Howard of Baltimore introduces an automatic feed bag that feeds from a rear hopper and uses a check rein to lift the pouch when the horse lowers its head. The device aims to reduce waste by delivering grain in the lower chamber while the rear hopper stores the rest, with a rigid top ring and a bottom wooden disk to direct grain toward the center. It relates a broader discussion on practical farming, independent farming, and cattle breeding trends amid European livestock import restrictions.

Ice House of Straw Illustration From Farm Stack
An illustration from the American Agriculturist demonstrates turning straw stacks into a usable ice house framework. The method presents a cheap, simple frame that can be adapted on farms to preserve perishables during cold weather.
Be tightly boarded up and leveled floor with drain
A description outlines constructing a sealed stack area with a level floor, a trench drain for meltage water, and an extended passage with multiple locks to block air currents. Surface water must be diverted away, and hogs kept out to prevent burrowing that would allow air ingress to the ice.
Grange Libraries Offer Cooperative Farming Knowledge
