Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 138, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 June 1913 — Provide Straw. [ARTICLE]

Provide Straw.

Straw is too valuable to be wasted as it is on most farms in the East It should form a part of the ration and surely be made into bedding. Why so many dirty cows and horses every winterT Why so many filthy calf pens? Simply because the straw pile is perhaps away out in the field covered with snow, and practically inaccessible. If barn room is scarce, why not press several tons of straw just to store away for bedding when the stack cannot be reached easily? Baled straw can be compactly stored.
