    Farmers face several difficulties in fodder management. Gathering fresh green fodder requires time, labour and land. Chopping is physically demanding and time-consuming. Many farmers also lack silage bags or proper silos. Silage helps solve these problems by preserving fodder in bulk for months. Once stored, it reduces daily labour and guarantees animals nutritious food during scarcity. Farmers find silage highly useful to overcome fodder shortage challenges effectively.

    While making silage, I faced problems such as chopping large fodder pieces, tightly packing them without air gaps and finding enough silage bags. Pressing the fodder evenly was challenging. Sometimes, improper sealing caused spoilage. Next time, I would arrange chaff-cutting machines, involve more helpers and use strong airtight bags. These improvements will make silage preparation easier, quicker and more effective, ensuring better quality preserved fodder for animals.

  3. Once upon a time, there was a king who was very fond of horses. He had 20 horses of the best breed. The horses were kept in the royal stable, and cared for by a caretaker. One night, a thief stole one of the horses. Fearing punishment, the caretaker arranged the horses in the stable as shown in the picture here. The next day, when the king came to check on the horses, the caretaker led him around the square stable. “Please count the number of horses along each side, your majesty,” he said. The king counted 5 horses along each side. “We have 5 horses along each side and there are 4 sides. So there are a total of 20 horses, your majesty,” the caretaker explained. Satisfied with the explanation, the king returned to his palace. But wait, were there really 20 horses in the stable? Count the horses one by one and check! What was the mistake in the caretaker’s explanation? The following night, the thief stole another horse from the stable. Now, only 18 horses remained. The caretaker once again cleverly arranged the 18 horses, so that there were 5 horses on each side of the square stable. How do you think he was able to do it? Arrange the 18 horses in the stable with 5 on each side. How many more horses can the thief steal before the king notices something is wrong? Try making the arrangements yourself. Here are the two questions to be answered: 1. How did the caretaker arrange 18 horses so that each side had 5 horses? 2. How many more horses can the thief steal before the king finds out?

    1. How did the caretaker arrange 18 horses so that each side had 5 horses? The caretaker arranged the horses along the boundary so each side counted five. Similar trick as for 19 horses. Corner horses were counted double in corners. Some corners are blank. Altogether, the caretaker cleverly arrangedRead more

    The caretaker arranged the horses along the boundary so each side counted five. Similar trick as for 19 horses. Corner horses were counted double in corners. Some corners are blank. Altogether, the caretaker cleverly arranged 18 horses in such a way that the king would believe that there were 20 horses kept there.

  5. Each quarter turn equals 90°. When four quarter turns are taken in the same direction, they add up to 360°. This is a full turn, which means you come back to your starting point after one complete rotation. For example, if you turn four times while playing “statue,” you will be standing exactly wherRead more
