 holes are made wider outside than inside so that they 

 will not get stopped up. On the inside the holes should 

 be 1/4 of an inch wide and on the outside 3/4 of an inch 

 wide. 



A good sturdy frame of 2 x 4-inch lumber is made 

 of such a size that the boxes just fit snugly inside. Near 

 the bottom of the frame are stops which prevent the bot- 

 tom box from going through. At the top of the frame 

 is either an ordinary large screw-jack or a stout, long- 

 handled lever, to give the pressure for squeezing the meal 

 in the boxes. At the bottom of the jack is attached a 

 3-inch board 2x2 feet which pushes down squarely on 

 the 3 x 3-inch bars on the lid of the top box.
