SELF FEEDING CORN CRIB,

best. I had about forty and a few small ones in the yards. 

 I also had two hundred head of cattle. 



PERPETUAL FEEDER FOR STOCK. 



This crib has wide feeding troughs on the two sides, just 

 about high enough for cattle to feed in and help themselves to 

 corn. If the corn does not fall in sufficient quantities of itself a 

 slight touch of the hand will be sufficient. The corn that falls to 

 the ground by the cattle, the porkers stand ready to catch ; or 

 if any is left in the troughs it is thrown out, and in this way 

 both cattle and hogs have enough and plenty to fatten well 

 without the carrying of hay or grain, and they are also shel- 

 tered from storms. 



One man or boy is all the help I have. 



SELF FEEDING CORN CRIB. 



The trough Is on both 

 sides, east aad west. 



■WATER. 



I have an opening through the fence and stacks which 

 leads out to the field and to a pond of water, which is con- 

 structed by building a dam across the ravine. It has nine feet 

 of water, pure and clear, so that fish have found a home in it.
