A RAISED FEEDING - TROUGH FOR POULTRY.
Every poultry-keeper knows how the ordinary . feeding-trough placed on the floor of the house gets filled with litter' from the scratching of the birds. The accompanying photograph illustrates a useful style of platform for raising the trough above the floor.
It saves the trouble of removing litter from the trough before feeding, and takes up practically no floor-space, as the birds have room to scratch underneath it, any crowding being thus minimized. The trough shown is made of 6 in. by I in. boards, 7 ft. lorg, and the platform of 8 in. by n in. boards nailed securely at each end to pieces of 12 in. by i in., 28 in. long. The trough is
unattached to the platform.-
