Application filed October as, 1922'; serial no. 597,579.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be. it known that I, Joni: MANcHns'rnn, a citizen of the United States, and a resident oi North lioup, in the county of Valley and State of Nebraska, have invented certain neu and Perches.

ot which the following is a specification.

This irn'ention'relates to poultry perches and has for its object the provision of a dc vice adapted to contain a 1I16CllCLl8Cl;SOll1 tion which will saturate the perch to pre vent mites and other Vermin from initesting and propagating on the perch. I

Other objects and objects relating tode-.

tails in construction will hereinafter appear. f

upper face of the bar and extending from.

end to end of the bar. Thebar isalso provided with a longitudinal channel 3 cut into the body of the bar and below thegroove-Q, with the channel extending longitudinally of the bar and terminating adjacent the-op posite ends thereof; The ends of the channel are curved upwardly asat 41- toward'tne upper faceot' the bar and leading into the longitudinal, groove and likewise curved outwardly toward the ends of said bar. I

The longitudinal groove 2 extends from end to end of the bar so that the lease portions 5. of the groove adjacent the ends 6 form seats for the ends of the cover V lhe groove 2 and channe 3 cooperate to form shoulders 8 running longitudinally upon opposite sides of the channel and forming a seat for the lonig'itiulinal edges ot' the cover 7; The cover 7 is adaptedtosnugly fit between the longitudinal sides of the channel when seated'on the shoulders 5 and 8 of the bar 1, the cover being frictionuseful In'iprovenients in Poultry.

. preventmites i: Figure l is a transverse section of the ally 'retainedj'on its seat thesioles of the groove 2. Adj acent. one endof the cover 7 is formed a perforation 9 which is adapted to receive a cork '10.- The perforation 9 isadapted to provide an opening for the ad "mission of sonic form of medicated solution which is adapted to saturatethe wood. and or other vermin-from infest ing the perch v It' will be noted that the channel is sealed sufiiciently by the cover land the cooperatingsi'des of the grooveQ to prevent any dirtfroin working its way into the chan-- nel 3; By reason of this closure of the channel 3 said channel is always maintained clean and therefore it will be unnecessary at any I time to remove the perches to clean the interior o'fthe same;

Since the cover 7 is "frictionally retained between the side walls ot'the groove. 2 it will be only necessary to raise the cover when desiring to remove the same. If the Cover Were slida-bl-y mounted in undercut grooves over the channel 3 1t would be necessary to remove the 'perch'entlrely or have openings provided in the side of the chicken 'W'hat I claim is: I I A poultry perch comprising a bar pro-- vided with a groove cut'intothe upper face coop to slide the cover through the same. 1
