View of nest from top (top removed) THE MAINE EXPERIMENT STATION TRAP NEST (Photographs from Maine Experiment Station) which simple arrange- ment admits of using the same nests (with front closed) as dark nests and (with front open) as light nests. Material. Most nest boxes are constructed of wood. Many poultry keepers convert second- hand boxes and crates of suitable size into nest boxes, or make them of old material which can be cut to the required dimensions. When such close econ- omy is necessary, this is not objectionable, but on the whole it will be found more satisfactory if all nests used for one purpose and for birds of the same kind are of the same pattern, — of new seven-eighths-inch boards, surfaced on both sides and planed on the edges, to give smooth surfaces everj^- where and close-fitting joints. Trap nests are used to enable the poultry keeper to keep indi- vidual laying records and the full pedigrees.
