BOX FOR WATERING PAILS.

Figure 33 shows an arrangement for keeping the pails 

 used for watering the horse and cow, assuming that

 winter, and from standing in the hot sun in the summer.

of the box for a single pail should be about sixteen 

 inches square, or twenty inches would be no disadvan-

 hardware store, and are better than leather ones. For 

 two pails, the box should be two and one-half or three 

 feet long. In this way, the pails are always in place and 

 much trouble and annoyance is avoided. The best way 

 to arrange the cover is, to have a strip of board some two 

 or three inches in width to go across the top of the box, 

 forming part of the covering, to which the hinges can be 

 securely fastened. Use a smaller box in the hen-house.
