chaff-and-corn

Updated: May 26, 2025

I got the feed-bags stretched across the shafts, and the chaff-and-corn into them; and there stood the horses all round with their rumps north, south, and west, and their heads between the shafts, munching and switching their tails. We use double shafts, you know, for horse-teams two pairs side by side, and prop them up, and stretch bags between them, letting the bags sag to serve as feed-boxes.
