HOUSE FOR LAYING HENS.

not Help But DO Quite Satis-
factOriIy in 1t.

In order to make hens produce eggs
when most desired, they must not only
have extra care, but be provided with
proper quarters. At the same time,
however, it is hardly advisable for all
poulterers to erect elaborate struc-
lures for this purpose, and especially
when we take into consideration the
desperate competition of the present
day and oftentime low prices of eggs
Accordingly, we advance the idea that
ordinary persons who make a practice
of keeping from 80 to 100 fowls should
indulge in poultry house something
like the one shown herewith in the il
lustration.
AS can be seen, If situated by bank,
1t affords very suitable habitation for
laying hens. Indeed, in early spring
and fall, when the chilly days and

Live Stock and .Fertility.

tion of fertility will they become ex-
pert in this line or capable of getting
out of it all there is in it. 1t has well
been said that the policy which the
farmers Of Illinois must adopt if they
ever expect to attain their former
prosperity is to provide home mar
ket for their own product. By home
market we mean a market on the
farm, without any cost of transpor-
tation except that which the farmer
pays to himself for the use Of his own
teams and wagons. Nothing except
live stock can provide this kind Of a
market. P. Grout, in Farmers Re,

nights retard the inclination of all
hens and pullets to lay as steadily and
early as they will with warm, nice
quarters in which to reside, it is just
the thing. Really, it is SO roomy, con-
venient and well ventilated that fowls
cannot help but do satisfactorily in it.
For 100 hens it should be not less than
so feet long, 25 feet wide, 10 feet at the
highest point and eight feet where the
windows are shown.
The pens should be ten by eighteen or
more feet square, with nests for layers
extending the entire length of the
building under its lowest part, it being
here dark and obscure-just the place
in which to deposit eggs which, with
up-to-date nests, can easily be collected
by the poulterer at night and not one
found broken.
AS to the floor OF such building, II
The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1898-09-21

should be raised three or four inches
from the ground to shut out dampness,
and dry earth and coarse sand spread
over it regularly after the old has been
removed, for this gives the hens exer-
else and grit, both of which are highly
essential to their welfare. Wire net
ting, of course, should be employed to
divide the pens, and in the upright part
of the building should be arranged the
roosts. Here, also, should be arranged
the ventilators, which at their best
ought to be left open during the mid
die of the day, when the hens are down
on the floor or out of the house, and
closed at night, or partially so, to keep
out the cold.
Concerning the stove Cook at plan),
this comes available for cooking food
in its caldron or boiler before feeding
the same to fiocks in the morning. and
also for keeping the building free from
dampness-a thing highly important
where large number of hens are kept.
Have the stove inclosed in a small
apartment by itself, and then when you
wish to warm the rest of the house
open the, door and let the heat pass out.
Thus you keep the stove neat and clean,
while If the apartment is mouse-proof,
as it ought to be, a supply of grain and
meal may be stored therein for the
fowls, which economies much in time
and labor.
The windows, which in their sloping
position should face directly to the
south, afford the inmates a large
amount Of light and sunshine-all that
are obtainable-and no matter how Sc
we're the weather may be, fowls thus
provided for are always contented and
happy, compensating their owner with
an agreeable amount of eggs. When
hard snowstorm is in progress, how
ever, it is policy to cover the windows
with straw mating or the like, for
then when it clears up the mats may
be removed, and with them all the
snow, leaving the glass perfectly clean
and the hens to enjoy regular para
