It is home-made, and can bemade by anyone with a pair of tinners snips and a couple of oldpreserve cans. Cut off the bottom of one an inch and a half high;the other, as shown in engraving, cut three inches up, making the 40 MAGGOT PITS. openings three-quarters of an inch wide for the first chicks. Af-ter a week or ten days others will have to be made one inch wide;bend these ends in, or cut them off, and put together as shown inthe cut. Another style of water vessel is shown at Fig. 28, whichis also of tin or iron, with round holes one inch diameter cut inbefore putting it together.
