Leo C. Reynolds in Ohio Farmer outlines a 6 by 12 foot hog feeding platform built from two inch planks and 2x4s. It includes a side trough, raised edges to keep corn in place, and an open end for easy cleaning. The inclined design uses inexpensive hemlock planks, costs about $17 per M, and should pay for itself in the first year.

A farmer explains how heavy showers drowned many young chicks and blames lack of proper coops. He presents a coop design, arguing it would prevent losses and protect the brood during rainstorms.
A compact chicken coop measures 16 feet long and 30 inches wide with 30 inches in front and 18 inches at the rear. It is designed to house ten hens, features a back round access hole with a bottom cover, a removable cleaning board, and a front hinged cover 18 inches wide for night and rain protection, supported by five 2x4s.
