is bored in it's center, to admit more

leaving enough OF the board to each
side of the opening to extend up TO
the cross piece and hold the hinges,
which are made of leather, tackled
on the inside of the door and top

The trap latch is made of piece
of stiff wire. about 316 of an inch

piece Of wire is shaped SO that a
section of it IL inches long rests
horizontally across the circular open

about two-thirds of the 6-inch open

two clamps. one on either side of the
slots large enough to allow the wire
to work up and down, about inches.

OF the wire Is inches long and bent
SO that 1t Is at right angles with the
12-inch section. II passes along the
side OF the box. back towards the en-
trance door. II is fastened strongly
to the wall by staple and clamp. yet
loosely enough SO that the wire can
roll easily. when Its 12-inch section
is pushed up by the passing hen.
The remaining section of the wire,
which Is 3 inches long. is bent to-
ward the center of the box with an
upward inclination. SO that 1t sup
ports the door when opened up. The
end OF the wire is turned over
smoothly. forming a notch into which
the door slips. and rests when 1t la
opened. The notch prevents this sec

1t Is necessary that the wire from
which the latch Is made be OF good

This. In brief. and as we'll as can
