CLEANING SEED


All seed should be carefully cleaned OF
dust and chaff before it is given 10 the
birds. Many people simply blow the
dust away with their breath. This
method is both tiresome and insani-
tary.
a good plan is TO take a cigar box
remove the bottom and insert in its
place a piece OF perforated zinc. Then
when the box is shaken with a circular
movement the dust falls through the
holes and leaves the seeds perfectly
clean.
II any Of the chafr remains take the
box into the open air and then from a
good height pour the contents OF the
box into another receptacle. and the
air will blow the light particles OF chafr
away.
