10 feet would be needed. The yards

yard may be of any preferred shape and
may contain more space. but should not
be less than the area mentioned. Inc
nearer to the square form the cheaper the
cost of the house in proportion to the
space secured.
A very convenient poultry house for

boards. rabbeted (barn boards) nailed up
and down to 3x4 pieces, the house to be 10
feet square, feet high in front and 6 at
the rear. with q large window on the front
(which should face the south or south
east), and a small sash on each end near
the front, the door to be on the west end
or side. The small windows should open
so as to allow ventilation according to the
direction Of the wind, top ventilator
