52 COMPLETE INSTRUCTION IN 



Lumber Required for Racks and Trays for the 

 Large Room. 



One single rack will require 



28 feet of scantling, 3x3 inches. This is for 

 four posts. 



70 feet for ten upright stays, 1x2 inches. 



35 feet, 2x3 inches, for the sides and ends of 

 the top of the rack. 



360 feet of slats, 1 x \ inch. 



460 feet of lathing for 36 trays. 



In computing for the lumber, get enough for 

 four double racks and four single ones for the 

 large room, and one for the small room, and 

 enough lathing and burlap for 720 trays, 24x30 

 inches, and twelve one half as large, to be covered 

 with white goods, same as used to cover the 

 canopies. Also, get shelving for closet of small 

 room and rack-shelves. 



To Put the Rack Together. 



Fasten the four posts to the two top pieces 

 which are 12^ feet long, also the ten stays a little 

 more than 24 inches apart. Then put the two 

 sides of the rack together by fastening the end 

 pieces to the sides. Next fasten in the slides 14 

 inches apart. This will leave space enough be- 

 tween the trays, at least till the last age. It 

 may be that the branches are too large then. If 

 so, take out every alternate tray.
