The POULTRY HoUsE.-Just exact

most important .is ventilation. Tn,

should never be forgotten. The fow
depends upon sanitary regulation fol
health 40 much as . human being
does. Whatever else may be neg.
lected, therefore, do not neglect ven.
tilation. Sunshine is also necessary
Some poultry houses are more like {
cellar than place for living crea
ture to stay in. The house should b.

giving and health-giving rays of thu
morning sun can penetrate, This
will help, too, to keep the house dry

Some one has said that there should

modate twenty-five fowls. Tho Gus.
tom of raising the roosting poles by
steps is very bad. A fowl always
roosts az high as it can get. In q
house, therefore, where the poles
rise from the bottom, the fowls going
to roost first will get on the upper
poles. Here they get all the bad sir
that comes from the exhaustion of the
pure air by those who are roosting
lower. The poles ehould always be
placed on level, and from three to
four feet from the floor. The nests

nests should be kept scrupulously
clean, and go should the feed boxes
