Make it as follows: Nail the two grooved strips together to form the bottom. Saw a cross-groove near one end to receive the screen. Place the screen in this groove, bending the ends flat against the sides of the bottom pieces. Nail on the two side pieces so that they will stand an inch higher than the bottom. Nail the short strip across the intake end (the end opposite the screen), in position, projecting both above and ]below the trough; below, far enough to give a slant to the trough of about an inch per running foot. If the bottom be painted black inside and dried before use, the nets made in this trough will show up better.
