The necessary time they are taken out of the reason for thus raising the drying cage flannel and put into the flight, with a floor level is to prevent the bird's feet or perforated ti'ay, above where they had been h'ing. This is repeated until all the birds are washed. The flight has a glass front, which protects the birds from body touching the hot tank. The front of this cage is a movable wire one, with a door in it, or a door can be made in one of the wooden ends. Over the wii-e front a sheet of glass is made to slide in grooves, to keep the heat in the cage and at the same time not obstruct the light. This cage should be made slightly shorter and narrower than the top of the tank, the heat from which rises through the flan- nelette. The temijerature is regulated by a ventilator in the top. It is well to have a thermometer hung inside the cage at the back so that the temperature can be seen at a glance, and it should be re- nrembered that 90 degrees Fahr. is a suitable heat to maintain.

The advantage of drying birds in a cage of this kind is that it is im- possible for the birds' feathers to dry "harsh" by heat generated by hot water : furthermore, owing to there being plenty of light, as soon as the birds get partly dry they begin to pl
