54 COMPLETE INSTRUCTION IN 



trays of worms to spin, or even four, provided the 

 trays are not very full. If the worms are large 

 and fine, as they always ought to be, 100 to 125 

 is quite enough for a tray. 



What I have termed " stretchers" are made 

 something like bamboo music-racks or holders. 

 Slats one by one half inch, and three feet long, 

 are crossed for the legs. A round piece about 

 three quarters of an inch in diameter and three 

 feet long holds the cross-pieces together in the 

 center. Two pieces at the top of the legs, the 

 same length as the round center-piece, hold the 

 sides or frame firmly. In these there should be 

 holes one quarter inch, one in each cross-piece, 

 six inches from the end. These will hold cords 

 stretched from one to the other. Leave the cords 

 long enough so that the stretcher can be adjusted 

 high or low, as is required. These will hold 

 canopies at any time after the worms have 

 mounted to spin, if the racks be over-crowded.
