Making Money On the Farm X.— Poultry Houses and '■ Equipment By C. Y. 6KK0RY. Author of "Hone Coarse la Modem AukSUre" Copyright. 1909. by America. Press , Associetiea FOR the money in rested and, work applied poultry is one"." of the most profitable Bide lines on the farm. Indeed, many farms are run at a profit with poultry , alone. If poultry la profitable on a 1 place where all the feed must be bought it should be doubly ao on , general farm, where much of lft Is made up of waste products. often the work of caring for the poultry is left to the women and children. Much of It is light work that they can do all right, but the man of the place should not consider It beneath his dignity to lend a helping : when It Is needed. If poultry is to be kept at a profit some kind of shelter other than the ! machine shed, the apple trees or the stable will have to be provided. A good, warm poultry house Is absolutely necessary If winter eggs are t<* be secured. At 80 to B0 cents a dozen winter eggs will soon pay the cost of building a bouse of this kind, to say nothing of the superior health of the flock. The theory that poultry does best when left to Its own resources Is about exploded In enlightened communities. It has been demonstrated over and over again that no form of domestic creature kept for profit responds more readily to good treatment than this same barnyard fowl. That It has always more than paid Its way even when neglected shamefully Is but an indication of what It would do under I better treatment. Locating the Poultry Houae. The poultry house should be located J ' near the other buildings. The chickens will go to the barnyard to scratch I anyway, and if the poultry bouse Is

| too far away they will roost In the i i barns and sheds rather than re»urn to j It. The poultry house should not be 1 too far from the dwelling either, In j | order that it way not be too Incon- j venieut to care for the poultry. The I I ground where It Is placed should be I j fairly high nncf naturally well drained. I A damp poultry house fosters all s<fi|s ! of diseases. The size of the iwultry house de- j pends upou the number of fowls kept. It Is estimated that about five square i feet of floor space should be allowed pet | fowl. If they can be out of doors most j j of the time they can get along with j considerably less. The best kind of , ' house to build Is the scratching shed j type, built with a shed root. The high ' side should be to the south. About half of this house should be parti- j i tioned off for a scratching shed. The . south side of this shed part Is to be j I left open, covered only with wire net- 1 j ting to keep the fowls iu. If the back i i and sides of this room are tight and I the bottom boarded up a foot or two ; there will be little draft and the ' I fowls will be comfortable even lu the coldest weather. The floor of this ; shed part may be of dirt and should . j be kept covered with several Inches of The remainder of the bouse should have a floor, preferably of cement. A ; j sement Door Is easily kept clean and Is I Bttle more expensive than a woodeD I one. The chief advantage Is that it ' keeps out rats and other vermin better | tbau any other kind of Boor. Neither ; ' -does it furnish any crevices In which ' ' Bee and mites can hide. These pests j fire the worst enemies to poultry culI ture. and care should be taken in build- , j tug a boose to leave as few cracks , j where they can hide as possible. 1 Value of a Curtain Front. j There should be several windows In | the south side of the house to supply I light. Light is one of the best dlsln- : fectants. It does mncb to keep the fowls free from disease and happy and contented. To provide for ventilation there is nothing equal to the "curtain front." This is a large square of muslin fitted Into a frame the same 'as a „ (window. This allowe a gradual ad- •• mission of fresh air without drafts. The exchange of air takes place slowly enough, so that it does not lower the . temperature of the house too much. Considerable light comes through the curtain also, and less heat escapes ■ through It at night than through gl^ss -windows. The curtatn has the further I advantage of being cheap. No poultry house should be put up without one. * Whether lmflt of lumber or of some i' other material, the poultry bouse II should be tight. Drop siding la good I material for the side walla. A single wall is the cheapest and answers the II purpose very welL It costB only s Ut- , He extra, however, to lath and plaster the Inside, and such a house is more

tween the paper and the wail. [ Part of the main part of the house should be given over to roosts and th* rest used for neat boxes. It is better to have the rooets along the qarth side. A muslin curtain arranged on a roller, ao that it can be let down In front of tha fowls on coid nights, does much to . keep them comfortable. The roosting •pace to be allowed to each fowl is ] six to twelve inches, according to slse. Two by fours set edgewise, with th* sharp corners rounded off. make good roosts. They should be set in notches, so that they can be easily removed tn ( be cleaned end disinfected. The droppings should be removed every week ' n or two and not leftefor a year, as is so 1 often done." If plenty of straw Is used - on the cement under the roosts It la ! bnt a short job to throw the excrement ; ont of a hole back of the rooets and put j In fresh bedding. It la labor that will be well repaid, for a clean, sweet ( ! smelling bouse is essential to egg pro- - ductlon. A little slaked lime thrown around , under the roosta helps to keep down bad odors. Sprinkling the bouse with coal tar dip and whitewashing the « roosts and walls once In awhile arc also good practices. The nest Itoxes should be provided ( ! with a cover and so arranged aa to be dark and secluded Inside, as the hens prefer to lay In this kind of place. Where a specialty is made of poultry it pays to use trap nests. These are so arranged that the hen Is caught . when she goes In to lay and cannot get out until the attendant comes along and releases her. By having the hens numbered tylth leg bands a record can be kept of the egga laid by , each one! Thus those that never lay can be culled out^And sent to the butcher and the egfes of the highest producing ones kept for raising pulI lets to increase the flock. In this way . the average egg yield can be Increased . considerably. It Is Important In this , connection to make especial note of those bens which do most of their i laying In the winter months, as they , are of considerably more value than . j the ones that lay In the summer, when | eggs are cheap. Yards and Fenoas. , | On the farm there is little need for . i many yards about the poultry bouse, i ! The chief need for fences Is to keep , 1 the poultry away from the garden and ' bouse. For this purpose woven wire ' fence wltb bexagonal meshes Is best, j The meshes shonld be small enough at i the bottom to keep out the small chickens. The wire should not be smaller than eighteen or nineteen gauge. An important point to look to is the galvanizing. This galvanizing Is n layer of zinc that Is coated over the wire to ■ keep It from rusting. There are two I methods of galvanizing, known as "after" and "before." The former Is apI plied to fencing galvanized after It Is I woven and the latter to that galvanized | before. The "after" galvanized fene- > j ing can lie told from the fact that the , ' joints where the cross wires arc twist- , I ed together are filled with zinc. When , ! the wire is _galvanized before weaving . the zinc Is cracked more or less in the ; weaving process and rust readily gets j j a foothold. The "after" gnlvanized wire sometimes costs a*llttle more, but ' I It lasts about five tiroes as long. Coops. . i The chief equipment, aside from bouses and fences, la coops. It Is more > economical to make these fairly large j" 80 as to hold a hundred chickens or so. I I -A coop sixteen feet long, two feet j ] wide and, about two feet high In front. ( 1 wltb the roof sloping toward the back. 1 la convenient and cheap. It can be dlj | vided into eight or ten compartments t and will do for as many hens and tbelr [. broods. The partitions should be about e six feet long and a foot high. This will e allow tbetn to project in front about . I four feet Laths are nailed along ihe . c j front and over the topB of these pnrti1 tion boards, making a little runway In j j front of each coop. One of the laths I e 1 should be removable to let the hen lu e and out as soon as the chicks are big g enough to follow her about, j | While such coop** are cheap, they f have one serious fault, and that la that they are not big enough for the" j chickens after they get to lie two or

'* three months old. 'There is no place ® like borne" -to chickens, and it is a great deal of trouble to teach tbem to n forsake their capps and go into the B poultry house ulghts. This trouble can ' be avoided by building a number of 3 small colony houses. A convenient size for these houses Is 8 by 10 feet ' Sncb a house will hold a hundred ' chicks uitll they are nearly full grown. e It may be built on the same plan as ' the main poultry bouse without the e scratching abed part. It should be s built on runners, so that It can be hauled about from one place to anr other, as la moat convenient Tbeaa y colony houses are practically lndispen •able when poultry raising is conducted e on a large scale. In such case It is £ best to build these houses in a snbstan- " rial fashion, so that they may be need ? many seasons.
