refused to lay eggs. Jason Bro
ply, the plaintiff, ayers that his
neighbo Needham Weeks, pre-

lay upward Of sixty eggs a week.
Brophy fed and cared for the
chickens for ten weeks, "deyot-

the detriment of other inter

any eggs. The defendant al
leges that he was unlawfully de-
ceived by the defendant and
seeks to recover SlOO damages
for his wasted labor and for his
expenditures for chicken feed.

and 3 #. alley ar rear Height,s g
#. front by 8 #. ? ia. rear.
Frame Of house should be placed
on brick foundation, the depth
depending on nature of soil
whether sandy, clay or gravel.
The brickfoundation costs more,
butts the best on accountof rates.
| If stone is plentiful and cheap,
use it instead, Tut m Se it solid.
Frame itself may co i~t of ? by
scantlings, placed IS inches
apart; for lath and li5Ster; II #.
scantling will cut iu two for rear,
and 10 #. lengths will cut in two
for front. Outside, on these,
nail second quality, but sound,
hemlock boards 10 inches wide,
and all of even lengths, say II by
13 or IA it., cut all the same and
not different lengths. This will
save cutting. On these tack one
or two thicknesses of good build
ers' paper. On the outside Of
all this, to finish, nail second
quality novelty or other good
siding.
The roof may consist of 10 #.
rafters, 3 by 9inches. This will
give an overhang back and front
of one foot. These roof rafters
should also be spaced for lath
and plaster. The roofing should
be 'Neponset .or other equally
good. The windows should be,
for each coop, 10 by II it,, one in
number, and about 5 ft. high by
4 ft. wide. Iprefer windows to
open in, and on side hinges like a
door. / do not believe in sash
windows, that run up and down,
for a chicken house. On the out
side of the windows have a poul-
try wire-screen door to open out.
This will prove of great benefit
in keeping a flock in when win
dows are open to admit air. A
small slide door near the floor is
necessary to let fowls in and out
of house.
For floor of house, we prefer
natural earth. If it is a clay soil,
put top dressing of dry sand on
it, and on top of this deep litter
of straw, leaves or other equally
good litter. There is no floor so
dry and warm as earth, in our
opinion.
AS to the furnishing of Coops,
suit your own taste. We prefer
roosts about 315 ft. high, with
drop-board sufficiently wide to
catch all the droopings, and not
lower than 8 or TO inches from
roosts. Under the drop boards
the space should be open, so as
to give a full sized scratching
floor say 10 by IL, or 10 square
feet. This is sufficient space
for 10 or II Wyandottes or Ply
mouth Rocks. Door of coops
from alley-way should be a fran e
3 #. high of boardsor nice match =
ed lumber, and the upper part of
one inch mesh poultry wire.
They should be light but strong,
and put on spring hinges, so as
to insure their going shut auto
matte ally. Nest-boxes and water
pans or fountains may be placed
where most convenient. The
inside, walls and ceiling, should
be lath and plaster. The house
outside should be painted with
