The catching-hook here de- scribed is an improvement of an old invention. (Figs. 108, 109 and no.) The changes made are, first that the wire is so forti- fied and braced that it remains practically rigid (Fig. 109) and second, that the hook end is so bent that it permits the shank of the fowl to be easily caught and held effectively, but without injury to the shank owing to the restricted entrance which pre- vents the shank from being easily withdrawn, and the large aperture which gives freedom of action while the shank is held. (Fig. no.) The shank, however, is easily released by the attendant. The hook is made from a broom handle and a six-foot piece of num- ber 10 steel wire which can easily be bent into the proper shape. (Fig. no.) The catching-hook in actual use is shown in Fig. 108. The wire is less conspicuous than the wooden end which attracts the fowls' attention while the hook catches the shank. The fowl is then gently drawn from the flock and the foot released. Fig. 110.—The catching-hook.
