the space occupied by the chicks. This
pipe is two and a half inches long and
tin screen is soldered over the top. The
top or floor of the brooder should be
made of well seasoned matched lumber or
it will shrink and let thesand through on
the iron plate. The top of the brooder is
supposed to be on level with your run,
so that the chicks can easily run in and
out as they choose.
This is what is known as the Perssey
brooder, and Mr.. Perssey claims pat
ent on it, but everybody is making them
and they seem to be public property. 1t
is claimed if hehas a patent it is notvalid,
for they were in use long before he made
them.
The temperature for brooder should
be $50 to 9Oo The chicks want more
heat than food for the first three or four
days. Keep the floor covered with sand
or sawdust an inch thick. Our pine saw
dust is a capital thing for this purpose,
for it is disinfectant, and no vermin will
trouble you when this is used fresh.

Brooders-How to Make Them.

Several weeks ago we promised to have
something to say about brooders, which
are quite as necessary as incubators and
more generally used, for there are some
old fogies who stake their all on the old
hen, but are taking one step forward by
using the brooder.
We are again indebted to the Poultry
Keeper for the use of the ecuts showing the

The following is the one | am using.
When / built my new brooder house / had
ten of them built stationary in the house,
and the best proof that can offer Of their
efficiency is that from the hundreds of
chicks have raised since November last,
] have not had onecase of roup, canker or
sore head.
The thing to guard against in brOOders
is square corners. The iron plate above
the lamp or stove should be pain, not
galvanized, for the latter will reflect the
heat back on the oil reservoir. The lamp
room should be tight, SO that no heat
can escape; in this respect you can make
a saving of one-half of the oil. A lamp
or miniature stoveis made on purpose for
brooders 1t has a receptical for water
over the oil reservoir, which makes it per-
fectly safe if you are careful to keep water
in this receptical. The lamps, or stoves
as they are called, sell for $1.25 each.

er of them and cannot speak from expe-
rience, but as they embody the same
general principles that are used in nearly
every brooder, I presume they are good.

pounds, and containing Trio of birds
weighing only twelve pounds.
If tho birds Though scoring. 95 points)
are shipped in a box (as is often the case)
that Is too low and twice too heavy. they
will likely arrive at their destination
with feathers ragged, broken and pulled
put. comb scratched and turned over,
express charges about equal to cost of
fowls-a very mad customer the result.
All this can be avoided. A coop for
trio of birds should weigh from five to
eight pounds; for breeding pen eight
10 twelve pounds. We illustrate on this
page Il coop that gives general satisfac-
lion. To make such box you need
some light soap, starch or cracker boxes
for the body, and large white pine dry
goods box for standards. Soap boxes are
generally eighteen inches wide, thirty
long and seven or eight high. A box this
size will make coop of proper size for
a pen of Leghorns or other small breeds,
or a trio of Americans or Asiatics Saw
the box SO as to make two bottoms. and
one top frame. Saw the standards Corner
posts) out of a board taken from a white
pine dry goods or other light wooded
box. Make them one and half to two
inches wide, and twenty to twenty-five
inches In height or length. Use wrought
or. wire nails for lacking on the standards
80 that they can be cIenched. Put two to
three nails in each side through the
standard. Get a five cent pint or quart
tin cup, fruit or fish can and fasten to the
inside of one of the standards with two
nails-fasten SO that the top of cup will
be on a level with the birds back.
Use muslin, unbleached. .sheeting, drill
ing, or common bran sacks for the sides,
stretch tight and tack on with broad
headed carpet tacks. Use common plas-
tering laths or other small light pieces
for the top, running the length of coop
md nailed on about two inches apart,
but not close enough to catch fowls
head.
Tack your shipping tag on top, with
name of customer, destination, number
of birds in coop and directions to ''please
feed and water" Also do not forget to
tack or paste on your business card or
label, as coop of fine fowls, properly
cooped and shipped, is one of the fan
ciers best advertisements. If the birds
hro such as you would feel unwilling to
put your name on. it would pay better
to kill and sell them as market stock
Write your customer day or two be-
fore you ship, and. if the birds are to go
over days journey, advise him to feed
on soft food and give little water to
drink on the first day of arrival This
coop may not be the best or the lightest,
butts the cheapest and easiest made and
the kind in most general use.
