VIEW FROM PASSAGEWAY. 



VIEW FROM INTERIOR OF SQUAB HOUSE. 

 Above are two views ot a model made to illustrate what we call the dowel 

 system of feeding and watering. It is a great time-saver in a long house. Between 

 the floor ot squab house and the lowest tier of nest boxes is one foot space. Fill 

 this space with three-eighths inch doweling set one and one-half inches apart, as 

 pictured. (This doweling comes in any length from a carpenter and is veiy cheap.) 

 Set galvanized drinker and teed trough as shown. The trough has a three-quarter 

 inch slot in its bottom so that the grains will fall into position ready for eating on 

 the back side of the bottom strip into which the dowels are driven. The birds 

 stick their heads through the dowels to eat and drink, and cannot foul either grain 

 or water. Push a wheelbarrow with gi'ain along the passageway and a house one 

 hundred feet long can be attended to in fifteen minutes. Without this arrangement 

 if you go into each unit pen to feed and water, you will use up at least an hour, and 

 it will be harder work. By this method you need enter the breeding pens only when 

 killing or cleaning times come.
