B/ocA mtf/^c/ /o /rce DIACUAM or TIIK HACK I'EEDEU Rack Feeder (Fig. 11): The rack feeder is very easily con- structed and is an economical and practical method of feeding corn on the ear to turkeys as well as other game. It is constructed of poles and saplings and covered with hemlock or pine branches which extend outward a foot or two, thus furnishing some shelter to the feeding game. Two parallel poles are nailed on opposite sides of two trees 3V2 feet to 4 feet above the ground. A third pole is fastened to blocks nailed to the butts of the two trees and saplings or slats are then nailed to the poles forming a V-shaped crib. The slats or palings are spaced about 2 inches apart and the openings thus formed allow the cobs to fall out of the crib. A feeder similar to this type, placed about two feet above the ground, of larger capacity and with slats spaced about four inches apart, can be used in connection with feeding hay or alfalfa to deer or elk. Stove-Pipe Squirrel Feeder (Fig. 12) : A unique and econom- ical squirrel feeder has been experimented with, using shelled corn or other grain, but its success has not yet been well demonstrated. A piece of stove-pipe, about three feet in length, is slipped over the snag of a tree approximately 2^/2 feet above ground. A post of the proper size may well be used for this purpose. A two inch square opening is made in the pipe, near the level of the top of the snag. This is done by cutting three sides of a square in the metal and pushing it back. The inside flap thus formed prevents the grain from flowing out faster than it is used. A top for the container is made by nail- ing a block the size of the pipe onto a square piece of board several inches larger than the pipe, the block fitting into the pipe. This pipe arrangement may well be used in connection with various
