Stove-Pipe Squirrel Feeder (Fig. 19): A unique and economical squirrel feeder has been experimented with, using shelled corn or other grain, but its success has not yet been well demonstrated. A piece of stove pipe, about three feet in length, is slipped over the snag of a tree approximately two and one-half feet above ground. A post of the proper size may well be used for this purpose. A two inch square opening is made in the pipe, near the level of the top of the snag. This is done by cutting three sides of a square in the metal and pushing it back. The inside flap thus formed prevents the grain from flowing out faster than it is used. A top for the container is made by nailing a block the size of the pipe onto a square piece of board several inches larger than the pipe, the block fitting into the pipe. This pipe arrangement may well be used in connection with various other kinds of artificial shelters in the same manner as the hopper described in Fig. 7 may be used. The plan lends itself to many adaptations for use under different conditions. Spike Pole Feeder (Fig. 20): A feeder for turkeys and squirrels which has been tried with fair success is made of poles and spikes upon which ears of corn are plac
