Modern Milk House Built Under Drive
Farmers reuse space by placing a two story dairy under a ridge line. The milk house sits beneath the driveway with half the structure on high ground and half on low ground. Access from the milking area is simple, drainage considerations addressed, and the roof reinforced with heavy steel beams.
Protein Supplement Cuts Swine Production Costs
Farmers may reduce protein supplementation to save on feed, but experiments show corn alone requires 11 to 12 bushels per 100 pounds of gain, while a balanced mix with protein yields 5.5 to 6 bushels of corn and 50 pounds of supplement per 100 pounds of pork. Hog returns vary with feed prices, as corn alone fetches about 1.50 to 1.75 per bushel versus 2.25 to 2.75 with a supplement. Hogs reach market weight in about five and a half to six months.
Handy adjustable desk for shop or home use
A versatile desk top can be sized as desired or built from a large drawing board. It is hinged to the frame to raise for use, while the rest of the desk is assembled from small lumber pieces.
Reasonable Care Will Extend Life of Pillow
Pillows need moderate care to extend their life. Air them outdoors in cool dry air or place on a chair near an open window. Regular airing clears dust and helps prevent lumping. A simple daily routine keeps feather pillows fluffy.
