小桶，舀勺。

A small pail, can or ladle with the handle on the side; a lading-can. In the colonial era, some buckets were made like a small barrel, but with one stave left extra long. This stave would be carved into a handle so the bucket could be used as an oversized scoop for scattering grain, slopping the hogs, etc.

我爷爷在谷仓里放着一个生锈的旧饲料舀子，用来从大麻袋里舀鸡饲料。
