It is placed on top of the gratebars, and held firmly in place by cement worked up around itslower edges. At the back end of this iron cremating box is anopening for a stove pipe, which is necessary in order to give theproper draught. It is found in practice that only a short pieceof stove pipe is necessary to get sufficient draught to make avery hot fire, which entirely consumes the birds in a few hours. l8 METHODS OF POULTRY MANAGEME
