A practical stock salt box is shown nailed to a post near a barn. It has a projecting lid and a front about three inches lower than the back. Cattle lift the lid with their noses, then the lid falls back to keep salt dry, protecting it from rain.
The design uses weed-wood nests sheathed on both sides with adjustable length. Each nest measures 6¼ inches square with a high front and a rear 1 by 4 inch board to secure nesting material. A night door at one end keeps hens from sleeping on nests and alfalfa hay is preferred over straw to reduce mite breeding.

Whey, when properly combined with corn and grain for pigs, is a good protein supplement in the ration. It is commonly rated that 1,000 pounds of ordinary whey is worth 100 pounds of corn meal as a pig fattener. This would make whey worth about one half the value of skim milk in the ration.
