CHEAP FEEDING-TROUGH.
The feeding-trough illustrated is in use at the Waerenga Experimental Farm. It will appeal to the farmer by reason of its cheapness, lightness, and the ease with which it can be cleaned. As will be seen, the trough proper is made of galvanized corrugated iron, an old sheet of which will serve the purpose admirably. For cleansing purposes a quarter of an inch space is left between the bottom and the end pieces, a slight tilting thus enabling any accumulated water being run out. The framework may be constructed of any rough 2 in. by 1 in. timber, and the timber should be well tarred. This simple trough is very light,'and . one man can easily , put it on a dray or move it about. ■ The long side pieces on to which the iron of the trough is nailed may stand a little up from the framework, so that when the arrangement is turned upside down these side pieces will act' as runners and thereby enable the trough to be easily pulled along. The illustration will show how the trough is constructed.
