The U S Department of Agriculture suggests using a dry goods box as a bread warm box with kerosene lamp or 16 candlepower light. A slate shelf and galvanized iron heat shield distribute heat, with air vents and a thermometer to maintain 60 to 85 degrees F. A shallow water pan keeps air moist and a sponge or dough bowls on the upper shelf.

Using Cowpeas for Silage in Farm Practice
For silage, cut cowpeas when pods begin to turn yellow. Alternate rows with corn or mix one load cowpeas to two or three loads corn.

Ensure even distribution and firm packing.
