Between the floor of squali house and the lo\\'est tier of nest Ijoxes is one foot space. Fill ttiis space nith three-eighths inch donehng set one and one-half inches apart, as pictured. (This doweling comes in any length from a carpenter and is very cheap.) Set galvanized drinker and feed trough as shown. The trough has a three-quarter inch slot in its bottom so that the grains will fall into position ready for eating on the back side of the bottom strip into which the dowels are driven. The birds stick their heads through the dowels to eat and drink, and cannot foul either grain or water. Push a wheelbarrow with grain along the passageway and a house one hundred feet long can be attended to in fifteen minutes. Without this arrangement If you go into eucli unit pen to feed and water, you will use up at least an hour, and it will be harder work. Hy this methoc' you need enter the breeding pens only when killing or cleaning times Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Rice, Elmer C.
