No. 16 wire staples. 12” of No. 4 mesh wire 36” wide. DIMENSIONS: _Body_: 2 pieces 1” thick × 6” wide × 2’ 8” long to be used as sides of the hopper. 1 piece 1” thick × 6” wide × 16” long to be used as bottom of the hopper. 1 piece 1” thick × 1’ 8” wide × 2’ 8” long to be used as back of hopper. 2 pieces 1” thick × 2” wide × 1’ 8” long and 1” thick × 6” wide × 1’ 8” long to be used as the lid of the hopper. 1 piece 1” thick × 1’ 8” wide × 2’ long to be used as front of hopper. 3 pieces 1” thick × 6” wide × 2’ 6” long to be used as partitions for making the equal compartments in the hopper. _Trough_: 2 pieces 1” thick × 4” wide × 10” long to be used as ends of trough. 2 pieces 1” thick × 4” wide × 1’ 8” long to be used as front and back of trough. 3 pieces 1” thick × 4” wide × 4” long to be used as partitions in the trough, making four equal compartments. DIRECTIONS: Nail the two end pieces (1” × 6” × 2’ 8”) to the bottom piece (1” × 6” × 16”). Then nail the back piece (1” × 1’ 8” × 2’ 8”) and the front piece (1” × 1’ 8” × 2’ 4”) to the ends of the hopper. Nail the partitions (1” × 6” × 2’ 6”) to the back and front of the hopper making four equal compartments. The trough is made by nailing the two end pieces (1” × 4” × 10”) to the side of the hopper. Nail the front (1” × 4” × 1’ 8”) and the back (1” × 4” × 1’ 8”) to the ends of the trough. The partitions (1” × 4” × 10”) are nailed to the front and back of the trough, making four equal compartments. Cover the opening in the front of the trough with 12” of No. 4 mesh wire 36” wide. Hinge the two top pieces (1” × 2” × 1’8” and 1” × 6” × 1’8”) together with one pair of 1½” steel (butt) hinges. Then nail this top piece to the back of the hopper with the narrow strip even with the edge of the top end of the back. [Illustration] [Illustration] RACK FOR OAT-SPROUTING TRAYS
