REDWOOD SELF-FEEDING MASH HOPPER

Type 2

1T IS well to remember that Self-Feeding Hoppers I require frequent inspection (with occasional atten^ tion to insure against feed clogging in the throat), though they do have the advantage over the other types (illustrated in Bulletins No. 7 and 7-A) of requiring refilling less often.

Type2, illustrated above (for Self-Feeding Type 1, see Bulletin No. 8) may be varied in height and length to suit individual requirements, and it may be fitted with a l" x 6" or 1" x 8" beveled board across the back at the floor, if,desired.

Feed trough may be built with slatted cover as suggested in design of Hopper No. 1 (Bulletin No. $) to prev,ent birds fronr wasfing .feed, and 'partitions to form dif ferent' compartrhents are easily installed.

This Hopper, si4ilar in lype tq gng recommended by the Unlversity-oJ California Expeiiment Station in Circular No. 268, should be placed 12 to L8 inches above the floor.

Cover on feed trough may be omitted if desired. Refer to construction for roof or cover of "Self-Feeder for Hogs" (Bulletin No. 9) in case this Hopper is to be used out-doors.

Protect Farm Buildings From Fire

"Redwood lumber ignites less quickly and burns much more slowly than * t * other resinous soft building woods '* :t + and * * !t when Redwood becomes ignited the fire is much more easily extinguished. {. * *rt

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

-Extract from litter by P. H. Shaughnessy, for 22 vears Chief Engineer, San Francisco Fire Department.
