A hinged lid is pro- vided on top. This should overhang slightly and should be covered with tar paper or some other roofing to keep the grain dry. A clip is fastened to the back of the box and this, in turn, is hooked on a nail driven into a tree. For squirrels the box can be placed any height on a tree. For anyone carrying corn on horse- back, a convenient height is one which will permit the refilling of the box from the horse. For feeding turkeys the box should be placed so that it can be easily reached by turkeys on the ground. This box is jiarticularly well suited for feeding squirrels where deer are plentiful as it can be placed above their reach. Rack Feeder (Fig. 18): The rack feeder is very easily con- structed and is an economical and practical method of feeding corn on the ear to turkeys as well as other game. It is constructed of poles and saplings and covered with hendock or pine branches which extend outward a foot or two, thus furnishing some shelter to the feeding game. Two parallel poles are nailed on opposite sides of two trees 33/2 feet to 4 feet above the ground. A third pole is fastened to blocks nailed to the butts of the two trees and saplings or slats are then nailed to the poles forming a \'-shaped crib. The slats or i)alings are s])aced about 2 inches apart and the openings thus formed allow the cobs to fall out of the crib. A feeder similar to this ty])e, placed about two feet al)ove the ground, of larger capacity and with slats spaced about four inches apart, can be used in connection with feeding hay or alfalfa to deer or elk. Stove-Pipe Squirrel Feeder (Fig. 19): A unicpie and economical squirrel feeder has been experimented with, using shelled corn or other grain, but its success has not yet been well demonstrated.
