DIAGRAM OF THE SUSPENDED TRAY FEEDER Crib-Hopper Feeder (Fig. 10) : This type of feeder was designed to permit storage of four or five bushels of ear corn when roads are passable. It is intended primarily for wild turkeys, although other birds and game animals may take advantage of the kernels of corn which drop to the ground. It is a crib or box of any convenient size, made of boards and with sloping floor. The lower end is covered with 1 inch woven mesh poultry- wire to wuthin 2 inches of the floor, a strip of wood being nailed across the box just above the floor leaving an opening about 1% inches wide through which the shelled ears can drop from the bin after the turkeys have pecked off the kernels. It is desirable to provide wire covered side openings at the lower end which will facilitate working out the shelled cobs. Turkeys, and perhaps grouse, will feed at these cribs by pecking the corn from the ears through the wire. Some kernels will naturally drop to the ground and be available for grouse and other birds. The roof is removable to facilitate refilling. This fppripv shnnld be placed under natural cover wherever possible. 15 SIDE ELEVATION.
