A cornstalk shelter can be made
quickly and cheaply for the hens. The
hens are very fond of low, open shed
facing the south, and one can be built
of stalks that will last two or three
years or longer. Drive few posts In
the ground and wire some rails against
and on top of them. Lean the stalks
against these and lay them thickly on
top for the roof, which should have a
steep slant. Cover the roof with a
few inches Of straw, and lay few
stalks on top to keep 1t in place, which
will make it waterproof In the spring
the stalks may be taken down and
thrown in the barnyard if no longer
needed
