LOW-DOWN BACK FOR HAULING FODDER CORN. A very cheap and convenient sled for hauling fodder corn from the field has been recommended by Professor Hickman of Ohio Experiment Station; it is said to answer all purposes if the silo corn is not too far from the silo: The sled can be made out of a couple of 2x10 or 2x12 planks, say twelve feet long. Four 2x4 cross pieces, well mortised into the planks, and fastened by 20-penny nails, will finish the sled, except the trimming of the runners so that they will have a well-formed curve on the front end. Loose boards thrown upon this kind of sled will enable one to haul very easily a ton of fodder at a load; and by placing the butts of the fodder corn all one way and putting a 3x3 scantling.
