TROFT CULTURE. 



HATCHING BOXES. 



The boxes can be arranged in tiers, one above the 

 other, as in the sketch or otherwise, at the will of the 

 operator. 



If wood be selected, it must either be charred, or 

 well dressed with the silicate paint, made by the 

 Silicate Paint Company, of Charlton, Kent, and 

 Cannon Street, London, E.G. All kinds of varnishes 

 have been tried, but none equal it in preservative 

 power. 



A good strong framework must be arranged to sup- 

 port the troughs, of whatever material they are con- 

 structed. It should resemble a staircase, the steps 

 being of the width of the troughs, and arranged at such 

 a height relatively to one another that the spout of each 

 trough may properly deliver its water into that below it.
