feet long, these lath trays are most
economical of material when made four
feet in length.
Better but more expensive trays can
be made by substituting galvanized
wire screen, one-eighth or one-fourth
inch mesh, for the laths, in which case
the most economical size would depend
upon the width of the wire screen OBJ
tainable.
A cheap and very satisfactory drier
for use over the kitchen stove can be
made by any handy boy or carpenter
from a small amount of small-mesh
galvanized-wire netting and number
of laths or strips of wood about one
half inch thick and two inches wide.
The screen may be tackled directly on
the framework to make the drying
shelves, or the framework can be made
to support separate trays. By using
two laths nailed together, the frame
work can be stiffened and larger trays
made If desirable This form or any
of the lighter makes of driers can be
suspended from the ceiling over the
kitchen range or over the OIL gasoline
or gas stove, and 1t will utilize the hot
air which rises during the cooking
hour. 1t can be raised out of the way
or swung to one side by a crane made
of lath when the stove is required for
cooking purposes. and lowered or
swung back to utilize the heat which
otherwise would be wasted when the
top of the stove is not in use.
Another homemade cookstove drier
can be used on a wood or coal range
or kerosene stove can be made easily
and cheaply. Dimensions: Base "a by
10 inches; height 80 inches. A base
six inches high is made of galvanized
sheet iron. This base slightly flares
toward the bottom and has two small
openings for ventilation in each of the
four sides. I'm the base rests boxlike
frame made of 1 or 11a-inch strips
of wood. The two sides are braced
with 1A-inch strips which serve as
cleats on which the trays in the drier
rest. These are placed at intervals of
three inches. The frame is covered
with tin or galvanized sheet iron which
Is tackled to the wooden strips of the
frame. Thin st-ips of wood may be
used instead of tin or sheet iron. The
1oor is fitted OF small hinges and fas-
.ened with a thumb latch. It opens
wide, so that the trays can be removed
Easily. The bottom of the drier is
made of piece Of perforated galva-
nized sheet iron. Two inches above
he bottom is placed solid sheet of
