six to ten feet long, with the sides five inches high. The lath slats 

 are two inches apart and the troughs are sixteen inches high from 

 floor to roof. The roofs project about two inches at the sides 

 and effectually keep out the rain except when high winds pre- 

 vail. 



The roof is very easily removed by lifting one end and sliding 

 it endwise on the opposite gable end on which it rests. The 

 trough can then be filled and the roof drawn back into place 

 without lifting it. This arrangement is the best of anythmg we 

 have found for saving food from waste and keeping it in good 

 condition. When dry mash is used in it there is considerable 

 waste by the finer parts being blown away. When used for that 

 purpose it is necessary to put it in a sheltered place out of the 

 hish winds.
