pests pay for the trouble of killing
or catching them. This method con-
ststs of driving grasshopper catch

ing all the grasshoppers that hon
and then feeding the insects to
chickens. They can be dumped inuo
sacks and hung up to dry and fed
ferred to feed the grasshoppers alive
the machine can be hauled to the
poultry yard and placed so that the
front will face the light. The in
sects will find their way out, but
not too fast for an ordinary flock of
chickens: Thus the grasshopper
catcher becomes a se1f-feeder.
An analysis of grasshoppers shows
them to be high in protein and there
fore good chicken feed. 1t is known
that chickens are more productive
when insects are a part of their
ration, and grasshoppers when dried
can be used with other feeds during
the winter.
The grasshopper catcher, which
has an advantage over the old style
hopperdozer in that the insects can
be utilized for chicken feed, is about
