 crowded considerably, as they cannot become heated. 

 When well made of good, seasoned wood, this crate will 

 Stand a large number of trips. It should be well washed 

 after each shipment. The wood should be well oiled, 

 but not painted. If thought desirable, the wires on tho 

 cover may be braced in one or two places with binding 

 wire. Fasten one end to the frame, wrap it twice 

 around each wire, and fasten to opposite side of frame.
