Above are two views of a mo>Jel 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 of 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. (Tliis doweling comes in any length from a carpenter and is very 

 cheap.) Bet galvanized drinker and feed trough as shown. The trough has a tliree-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 grain along the passageway 

 and a house one hundred feet long can be attended to in fifteen minutes. Without tliis arrangement, 

 if you go into each unit fwii to feed and water, you will use up at least an hour, and it will be harder 

 work. By this method yoii need enter the breeding pens only when killing or cleaning times come.
