REDWOOD DRY MASH FEEDER TYPE ,.B')

OME poultry men prefer "self-feeding" hopper; (see bulletini No. g and 8-A) even though mash has a tendency to clog in the throat.

The "feeder" illustrated above (and that shown in Bulletin No. 7) assures an available supply of mash at all times, with attention required only at time of filling. It is easily cleaned (thus avoiding lhe feeding of stile mash) and is economical and efficient, simple and inexpensive.

Type "B" feeder takes up no actual floor space, is portable and easily moved, and may be built in longer or ihorter lengths as desired, though the sizes sugge_sted are recomrnended for convenience and economy. It is similar in type to one in New Jersey Experiment Station, Bulletin No. 370.

Birds may be prevented from forming habit of roosting on the perches by making the latter removable when first installed.

The "V" shaped bottom here shown tends toward complete mash consumption, thus avoiding waste of feed.

Provision for closing this trough feeder (not indicated on illustration) is noted on the "Suggested Lumber and Cutting List" (see Supplement to Bulletin No. 7-A).

Redwood Adds Fire Protection

Redwood was the only wood, allowed for temporary buildings in all San Frqncisco immediately after the big fire in 1906.

"Redwood lumber ignites much less quickly and burns much more slowly than 'f * * other resinous soft building woods * * * and 'F '* 'k when Redwood becomes ignited the fire is much more easily extinguished. * * *"

- "The reason for these differences, I think, is largely owing to the fact that Redwood is well known as a non-resinous wood,"

-Extracts from letter by P. H. Shaughnessy, fot 22 years Chief Engineer, San Francisco Fire Department.
